Poems

The shepherd's staff

From the March 1979 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When God called Moses
to rescue his people,
he replied with "Who am I . . ."
for such a task as this?
He did not yet understand
the power at hand.

I am spoke, reassured.
Moses heard God's Word.
Stay. Trust. Obey.
Don't turn and flee.
Handle the lie of limitation
and you will see—

the love that guarded the lamb,
saved from the prey,
lifted the fallen,
and guided the stray
will be your strength
the whole of the way.
