Our heavenly Father is to His beloved reflection
as immortal Principle is to its devoted heir:
ever-bestowing.

Our forever Mother is to Her cherished child
as consummate Love is to its adoring likeness:
ever-nurturing.

The great Shepherd is to His precious lambkin
as indivisible Soul is to its radiant representative:
ever-leading.

The living Word is to its exultant expression
as divine Mind is to its magnificent idea:
ever-imparting.

Unfathomable good is to its luminous celestial
as omnipresent Spirit is to its hallowed manifestation:
ever-unfolding.

The great I am is to His sparkling image
as eternal Truth is to its impeccable witness:
ever-anointing.

Inextinguishable Life is to its vital offspring
as the infinite One is to His flourishing emanation:
ever-renewing.

And you,
God’s eternal effect, His treasured heir—
in oneness enduring, in entity complete—
yes, do claim . . . indeed, proclaim
your forever
inheritance.

An eternal Father’s Day
