Poems

A daughter speaks

From the February 1997 issue of The Christian Science Journal


May I be "polished after the similitude
 of a palace,"
See Ps. 144:9,11,12.

 Dropping Eve's dream
See Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health, p. 585 .
servile belief,
sensual, disloyal—
To take up residence as a daughter royal—
spiritual, pure,
cornerstone strong—
Worthy daughter of the King.
In His castle keep of omnipotence,
With Christly qualities (meekness, love)
to companion,
I prove my heritage as God's likeness:
Sovereign dominion.
