Mere Verification

By Evalyn M. Sandberg

Man's thrusts in space, though they engender awe,

are nothing, held against what Moses saw—

and we through him, because he was disposed

to keep a record of what God disclosed.

And Abraham's holiness also provided

a glimpse of all that God's great hands have guided,

from Kolob, situated near his throne,

to Kokob (star) and Olea (the moon).

Oh, early seers, we're so much in your debt!

This pearl you left illumines darkness yet,

and any facts that are or yet will be

can but confirm what God lets prophets see.
