Poems

Priorities

From the December 1982 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Martha tasks
loom mountain-high,
thought-wearying
at the outset.

A choice?
Mary chose
a quiet path
of listening
and heard his word.Luke 10:39.

And we can listen
for God's Word
to reduce the mountain—
moment by moment—
to triumph
in our tasks
with joy

His way.
