Poems

Learning to "pray aright"*

From the November 1997 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Not like a shooting star
slicing the night,
with a big flashy tail
for all the world to see.

But as a candle
whose silent,
modest expression
tempers the dark.

*See Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health, p. 15.
