Searching
I searched my life and found
Uncivilised behaviour.
My waking hours were bound
In bettering my neighbour.
I searched my world and found
Unrivalled competition,
And simple trusting drowned
In envy and suspicion.
I searched my mind and found
That all was in confusion,
With theories to confound
But absence of conclusion.
I searched my heart and found
A love, but misdirected:
Not out to those around
But to myself connected.
I searched my soul and found
An emptiness and yearning,
A longing so profound
For holiness returning.
I searched for God and found
Him waiting close beside me.
His joy and peace surround,
His love will ever guide me.
