Poems

New beginnings

From the June 1984 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Retired?
Not you!
When did God say He would only need you for sixty-five years
(more or less)?

Your work's not finished—
it's only begun!
Advancing moments bring clearer vision,
increasing strength—
So stride joyfully into new fields of labor,
Letting superimposed time-fetters
vanish

in radiant discovery
of your multifaceted splendor,
your infinite essentiality
as God's loved child.
