Poems

The encompassing

From the September 1988 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Once when I felt
so compassed about
with false witnesses,
so battered and bruised
by false accusations,
I fell to my knees.

Then I remembered
that was a good attitude
for prayer.

And praying, Dear Father
I know You are with me,
I felt His sweet angels
lifting me up
with songs of deliverance.
