Seeking the Sought

My missing gloves turned up today (Good thing – I was distraught) Inside the pockets of a jacket I forgot I bought. The lesson of this incident Is that we really ought To leave no stone unturned Until we find what we have sought. A search that’s merely cursory Will yield, as wisdom’s taught, A disappointing outcome, All your efforts come to naught. But diligence will show results That laziness has fought, So “seek and ye shall find” remains A wise and prescient thought.
