Poems

REAL DESIRE

From the February 1940 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Since I have learned to follow in the way
Of Thy dear truth, gladly I do resign
My careful plans, and all I thought was gain,
And try to mold my human will to Thine.

No worldly thing can e'er supplant the joy
Of Life divine I had not known before.
And waking to reality, I find
This one desire—to know and love Thee more.
