God is Spirit.
Man is made in God's image;
Therefore, he, too, is Spirit.
Some day—
When Life's great symphony is ended
And all its beauties comprehended,
I shall go—
Not to meet a dreaded foe—
But smilingly to merge with God;
I shall be God.

God is Omniscient;
There is no dark unknown.
God is Omnipresent;
I shall not plan a journey far
Beyond some distant star—
For God is Here.
No dread, impassive silence
Shall entomb my soul
And hold it fast
Awaiting Gabriel's trumpet-blast.
My spirit, shorn of this dull, mortal clod,
Shall be at once with God—
And God is All.
