The God I See

border.jpg

THE God I see is one of love; so infinitely great
That we as sands on life's seashore can scarce ap-
     proach the gate
Of Wisdom, His sweet Book of Life, unwritten much may be,
But deep-inscribed within our hearts, for all Eternity.

The Soul, that spark of lasting life, through strange trans-
     mitting Power
Unfolds, develops light and thought, in Nature's summer
      bower,
And while we fail to fully grasp the fruitage He has brought,
Of buds of spring, about our path, we verily know naught.

As time rolls on, a gleam is thrown along the road of gloom;
More Faith, more Hope, more Light, toward the home of
      “Pretty-Soon.”
And He has given o'er to man, through impress on the brain
The implement which should disclose what we would glad
     attain.

The Phonograph, the strange, strange voice, which repro-
      duces o'er
Our voice, though mute our tongues may be; our souls on
      distant shore;
This only seems fair evidence, of what the Hand Divine
May point us to, or lead us through, down corridors of time.
