Poems

Prayer for the newborn

From the August 1988 issue of The Christian Science Journal


As you grow up, grow out;
Out of finite human ability into
Infinite spiritual capability:
Expressing, reflecting God, all good.
Grow out of mortal sense and strife
Into glowing, radiant, vibrant Life.
Grow up knowing that from God above
Comes the healing, soothing embrace of Love.

Always have you been, and
Ever shall you be,
God's perfect child, whole and free.
