Just learned that a Tennessee magazine has picked up a poem from one of my books, "Heaven Where We Are" (2007) which contains a poem about the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science -- Mary Baker Eddy. Their focus is honouring women who have made a significant contribution to mankind. As there are new readers of this website who are unacquainted with what I think of this great woman, below the poem they will be seeing:
This woman I admire*
Rather than just retire,
Her heart on fire
To reach others with
What had set her free
From years of suffering --
God's divine method of healing --
She prayed and toiled, leaned on God,
Wrote down what He revealed.
This lady loved Christ Jesus
More than all the world, she said.
And her lifework to make clear
What he knew about God and man
Has made Christ's words and works
Understandable and potent for me.
*Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder
of Christian Science
