Poems

Healing for all

From the March 1983 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Am I ready when
the felon, addict, debauchee—
ensnared by sensual lure—
ask for aid? Am I too awed
by sin to bring the Christly cure

to mankind's fringe?
Is the Christ
only for
the not-too-bad?

No! The Master would
see true identity,
unmask evil,
redirect desire,
reform, restore.

And so should I
likewise prove unreal
depravity
and its penalty—
help reinstate in all
man's native purity.
