Poems

The Soul-filled Heart

From the September 1962 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Oh, do I love with all my heart
And let my love speak plain?
Or do I sometimes turn aside,
From those I may disdain?

If I would follow where Love leads,
I may not choose to shun
Another who displeases me.
Love blesses everyone.

Not haughty heart nor lofty eye
Will merit heaven's praise,
But kindness shown and healing shared
Will brighten all my days.

Humility and tenderness
Are qualities of Mind;
And willingly a Soul-filled heart
Embraces all mankind.
