Searching

If you were given the chance
to have anything in this world
your number one desire,
which only the one true God can grant
What would you ask for?
What are you longing for?
I look across the street and the lonely
young man walking, head down, as I watch
his feet take turns hitting the ground just
wants to find his one true love.
I search the eyes of the young girl whose
parents after years of satisfaction
now take love for granted
just wants to find that
same source of happiness back in her heart.
Then I struggle and stoop down to the eyes
of the poor fellow down by the riverside
barely making enough to stand,
tells me his powerful tool called hope,
helps him to stretch
a little bit farther to that pot of gold.
Up next, I spot a single mom,
rushing to the daycare from work
to pick up her three beautiful kids
she looks my way
and the bags under her eyes tells me all.
She seeks a life without stressful situations.
I stop by a high school nearby
and my attention goes to a young girl,
about the age of 14
Her smile is as bright as the sun.
But few really know the darkness
that swept her heart three times.
What is heaven like if
she was living in paradise on earth?
So she lives with hope and assurance
of seeing mom, dad and sister one day again.
What is it that you want?
Love and compassion? A better life? Happiness?
Whatever it may be,
Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
And I’m just searching for . .
PEACE:
to love and live without imposition.
