Afterward, we hear no more
of the sturdy four
who carried the palsied in his bed
to the very roof
to find complete, scientific proof
of healing.
Who will today explore
and find their spiritual four
(faith, hope, love, purity perhaps?)
needed to take consciousness heaven-high
and let Christ, Truth, uncover, break up the lie
of sinning sense?
In spite of matter's pain or press,
spiritual sense knows Christ's power and man's free access.
Take courage, dear roof climbers, in this blessing revealed:
God has a way for you to be lifted and healed.
Trust Spirit's ways and the strength of Soul,
bearing you up—out of matter—
and making you whole!
