The Dreamer…This idea called you

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    Several years ago, a CS friend shared this poem with me.

    The Dreamer
    by J. Woodruff Smith

    Where did it begin
    This idea called you?
    In Genesis 1,
    Or Genesis 2?
    Which one of these concepts
    Will prove to be true?
    If you know what is what
    Do you know who is who?
    In Genesis 1 in the 26th verse
    There’s a man with never a taint of a curse.
    But in Genesis 2 in verse number seven
    There’s a dust man conceived…
    He’ll never see heaven.
    So it really comes down
    To which one you will claim,
    What thou see’st thou be’st…
    So what’s in your name?
    There they both stand.
    Which one is you?
    Is it immortal man one,
    Or mortal man two?
    If you’re immortal man
    You know what you’re worth.
    For according to law
    You’ll inherit the earth.
    But if you’re just a mortal
    And made out of dust…
    Is there anything to you
    That’s worthy of trust?
    No, the thing they call man
    In Genesis 2
    Is the dream of the dreamer.
    It never was you.
    So know what you are.
    Take your place in the sun,
    You’re the immortal man
    Of Genesis 1.
