Poems

Gone fishin'?

From the September 1985 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I'd gone fishing for healing,
Took great bait along,
Armed myself with books and references,
And threw out the nets.

Nothing.

Then I wondered what I was fishing for—
An explanation of the problem?
How did it attack? What was its name? When would it go?
Where was it located?

Not a nibble!

So I cast my net on the other side.
Instead of fishing around for what was wrong and why,
I cast on the side of truth, on what was right . . . and why ....
And guess what?

We're having fish for dinner.
