J. Clontz
God's Children

We are not cast on the ground,
that have been recognized by so great highness.
We are not the offspring of mortality,
afterward to be dissolved by time.
We are not a product of motion,
made to be again destroyed by itself.
We are not things of earthly birth,
ending again therein.

We belong to a greatness unto which we aspire,
of which we are the property,
and peradventure to a greatness
that hath mercy upon us.

We belong to the Light,
by whom we have left the darkness;
To the Eternal,
by whom we have escaped the bonds of the temporal.
