Poems

"That dear, dear one"

From the March 1997 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Before I understood Your great and lasting
love for me and all mankind,
the cords and laces of my heart
were tied in one hard knot
of worry and despair.

It's true that I suspected, somehow,
somehow,
You cared ...
but I saw no proof,
no proof.

And then You sent that man to me,
that dear, dear one,
to tell the truth he knew about You.
