Poems

Awakening

Psalm 17:15

From the November 1953 issue of The Christian Science Journal


More beautiful than songs of birds at dawn,
Awakening us on some fair summer's day,
Are the songs of angels, which, swiftly borne
On Love's strong wings, instruct us in the way
To truly live, the way to prove our love
For God and for our fellow men. If we
But listen, we shall hear these songs above
All other sound and, happily, be free!

This gentle way of Love's design may seem
Miraculous at first when we are healed.
In truth, it is awakening from the dream
Of false beliefs, the mist dissolved! And, sealed
With God's approval, we attain the grace
Bestowed by Him and see His loving face.
