BLIND

"Show me your God!" the doubter cries.
I point him to the smiling skies.
I show him all the woodland greens;
I show him peaceful sylvan scenes;
I show him winter snows and frost;
I show him waters tempest-tossed;
I show him hills rock-ribbed and strong;
I bid him hear the thrush's song;
I show him flowers in the close-
The lily, violet and rose;
I show him rivers, babbling streams;
I show him youthful hopes and dreams;
I show him maids and eager hearts;
I show him toilers in the mart;
I show him stars, the moon, the sun;
I show him deeds of kindness done;
I show him joy; I show him care,
And still he holds his doubting air,
And faithless goes his way, for he
Is blind of soul, and cannot see!

Wisdom

I am not wiser
than anyone.
I am only
and always
your equal:
I am you.
You are
my wisdom.
