Each Day

To know,is to understand
the presence buried within
and sense love's reality
that unshackles and makes free;
To see,is to understand
thought-pictures deep,inside me
alight and in clarity
speak with faith and charity;
To be,is to understand
a wholeness and harmony
held together,hour by hour
shielded in,a strong tower;
To feel, is to understand
the spiritual alive,
close-by,alongside ,a friend,
new life now ,and without end;
To trust,is to understand
what He did,not what I do,
that gave this free gift to me
By death,hanging on a tree.
