Poems

Benefits

From the September 1983 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Blessed be the Lord,
who daily loadeth us with benefits
(Psalms 68:19)

Can we take hold
with hands or eyes
of that which Spirit,
God, supplies?
Delusion
in the senses
lies
His benefits
must be of Mind,
refining thought—
line on line—
until the only
is divine.
False standards fall.
The true arise:
spiritual-mindedness
is prize;
benefits
of higher good—
bounteous joy
brimming cup
understood—
pointing up.
