Poems

There are not found that returned...

From the September 1978 issue of The Christian Science Journal


There are not found that returned
to give glory to God, save this stranger (Luke 17:18)

But one returned in gratitude.
One stranger leaving nine.
(What about
these thoughts
of mine?
Nine/tenths
needing to repent?)
But one returned with testament
of praise to God.
He knew what healing meant.
Father-Mother,
May I go back one hundred percent—
a stranger, unashamed,
to find Thy Christ
that claims its own
and must be claimed.
