Searching For God

We keep searching for God Although he's everywhere We want to have proof To prove he is there Look up to the sky The wind is his breath He's the God of the living The master of death The gifter of sunshine Feel his warmth on your face All the trees and plant life Rely on His grace Listen to His laughter When you see children play Humanity His garden He tends to us each day Inspired by Gail Angel Doyle's Finding God Contest. Not entered because like a guy I didn't read the directions.

Hello, Richard, I enjoyed your poem about the goodness of God. How true that we can see God in other people and in nature. And I especially love seeing him in sunrises and sunsets. When His light beams down at us saying good morning and good night. (like waking us up and tucking us in. ) So sorry about your attempts at entering a contest. Maybe that was my fate, too, since I thought I entered one, but I have heard zero back! Blessings! Darlene
