Poems

Substance

From the April 1956 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is not found in man-built walls,
However strong they seem to be;
Nor in the treasured bullion
Of coffers kept with lock and key;
Nor in possessions highly prized,
Beset by fear of loss and lack.

Substance is Life, by which man lives
In full, unmeasured length of days.
Substance is Truth, revealing man
Reflecting God in all his ways.
Substance is Love divine, which meets
In Science every human need.
