The Answer

From the February 1951 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In the words of the young man whom Jesus met.
She too asked: "Lord, 'what lack I yet?'
What do I need to heal this case
And error's picture to erase?
Do I need more humility,
More meekness, and less vanity?
Lack I still yet a motive pure,
A little faith that will endure?
Is it more gratitude I need,
More honesty of thought and deed?
What is my need, all else above?"
The answer came, "To love, to love!"
