Not Afraid

        (With the recent stepped-up attacks on Western targets by terrorists, have been thinking about our staying safe wherever we go--to the office/store/bank/airport/train station--wherever we need to go in a given day. Thus, this poem.)



"Fear not," Be not afraid,"
our Lord and Master taught.
Christ's divine Science helps us
do what Jesus said we ought.
For we are God's and have His Mind,
our thoughts from Him reflected,
by His all-seeing wisdom directed.
Claiming and understanding this,
we are from harm and fear protected.

There is no fear in God
nor in His image, you and me.
Accepting this as gospel truth,
we cannot  help but see
truth do what Jesus said it would:

                    Expose fear's unreality,
                              Keep us unafraid,
                                      Make us feel so safe and free!


Christ-informed, spiritually enlightened,
we can have now rightful demonstration
of the unafraidness that belongs to all
as divine Mind's own manifestion.
For you and I are Mind-created and encompassed
              --held intact and dear--
and there is nothing in God's infinitude
for Mind's idea, man, to fear.
