Poems

Something

From the February 1988 issue of The Christian Science Journal


There's something in you
that never strikes back,
that lets you bend under
the blow and come
gently upright;
something in you
that draws out laughter
here within earshot
of complaint;
something that's letting
sweetness through
the shadow of sarcasm;
something in you
whose grace is tact
in the face of spite;
something that doesn't end...
whose warmth is always
answering
the heart's cruel weather.
Something that is Christ ....

I can't see any
mote in your eye, my friend:
this something in you
is filling my own with so much
healing light!
