To Know You

I seek to see you with the power of my eyes I seek to touch you with the tips of my fingers I seek to feel your love as you embrace me Lord from afar Yet Lord are you not Spirit, an eternal life, that will abound forever… So even if I touch a leaf on a tree I will also, find a part of your living essence within it For you Lord are everything that is, and everything is A part of you There is nothing that exists without your breath of life to empower it each day For your life is the spirit inhabiting our bodies so when we reach out to touch You… Can we not also touch a red rose that blooms early in the morning and know we have touched a part of you also Can I not look at the sky and watch the power which propels clouds to fly while enjoying it’s blueness that is a a painters background and not also see you? Can I not feel your love as the sun awakens me with its soft kiss of warmth and know that I have felt you, Lord? For you are a part of all that lives, so I need not see you with my eyes to know that you are always close to me. For your life, your love, your spirits lasting embrace reaches all life I meet… Making your entire being my most precious treasure as its lasting imprint will always be alive spiritually with me.
