As one star is distinct from other star
And sends its ray from its own stand in space,
So each of us, though seeming similar,
Fulfills his mission in appointed place.
You cannot act for me, nor I for you.
Each must the Father's attributes portray;
For where the whole of Truth, were you not true?
Where all of Love, did I not love display?
And God's great plan requires both you and me
The fullness of Life's evidence to give;
In allness there is no vacuity
And to attest the whole of Life we live!
Oh, wondrous thought to hold in our possession—
Each has a part in God's complete expression!
