Poems

To a Christian Science nurse

(beginning a shift on a nursing floor)

From the October 1996 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Welcome to this brave new day,
to this Love-prepared hour,
this God-given moment

While here rests the wounded heart,
here at hand is the bright, narrow way
open to the sanguine hopes unspent.

As you lean on divine Love's arm
you see all are in the way, safe,
and comfort flows from faith
in Christ's revealing,
healing balm.
