600. WHAT TO DO

Earth tells me
What to do.
Heaven tells me
What to become,
  How to become
    And why to become.
What to do?
  I must cultivate patience
  Infinitely more than I have.
What to become?
  God’s Compassion-Choice.
How to become?
  By virtue of surrender-light.
Why to become?
  Because that is the only thing
  That can satisfy
    My inner life of aspiration-cry
      And
    My outer life of dedication-smile.
