GOD NURTURES HOLY SEED

From the May 1968 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Among the rocks, God nurtures holy seed!
Within the creviced universe
He cradles tenderly
Each tiny one
In good.

Growth would
Unfold, bright-spun,
His petaled artistry.
Deep hope and promise, trust immerse
With warmth and power, light and calm to feed
Strong roots. The loyal Parent knows the need
Of courage, patience, faith to nurse
Unblemished progeny—
His benison,
Life stood!

How could
Oblivion
Becloud His majesty?
His presence, grace, and truth disperse?
Among the rocks, God nurtures holy seed!
