Poems

A CHURCH FAMILY'S WELCOME

From the October 2010 issue of The Christian Science Journal


You're here!
Good to see you!

Especially in light of the struggle last night,
the cruel words,
the news hoped to be good that wasn't.

How rarely we know what happened before
The human heart admits that it needs Church
And responds to the call.

You are safe here.
We will defend each other's right
To hear, to know, to experience

That life is not an enemy,
But the blessing of being loved so well
That we can leave here with courage
And joy in knowing

That someone else will not consent to evil,
That the repeated lie never becomes true,
That freedom is not an illusion.

We're here!
What an honor to be with you.
