A glorious face

From the February 1999 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I thought this was
my beginning:
just a surname
the same as my father,
whom I never knew—
a name without a face.

Then:
I heard of another—
my Father-Mother
God, who fills all space,
who is unconditional Love!
Yet still I saw no face.

Suddenly it dawned on me
how to behold Him—
to see His love in reflected qualities
of joy, radiance, peace,
and beauty everywhere, even
in my own smiling face.

Now:
I know my Father
and find Him everyplace;
wherever love shines through
I see Him there—
a name with glorious face!
