Man is not graded in categories of fitness
By letter and number. As perfect expression of Mind,
Reflecting divine completeness, man is always
In the fullness of health and with vigor unconfined.
Man cannot be crowded into an income-bracket,
Having more or less on a graduated scale.
"Son, all that I have is thine," is God's assessment;
Man draws on superabundance, that cannot fail.
No age group sets a term to man's unfoldment,
No vital tables confine eternity.
Man was with God before the first clock sounded,
And when the last falls silent, still will be.
Man is not dungeoned in an intelligence quotient;
Idea of the one intelligence divine,
Man lives in unshadowed precincts of omniscience,
Where question and answer forever conjointly shine.
These are no wishful thoughts. Through each, acknowledged
In patient love, the healing Christ speaks clear:
"Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father in heaven."
And we find man's fullness and freedom now and here.
