Poem Title:
Poem
I sought Him in the twinkling eyes Of a kind and gentle soul One who showed their insight Into whispers of faith and hope One who shared their joy Their warmth, gentleness and courage One who listened to the yearning For a vibrant love who appreciated The light that heaven sent I sought Him in the warmth Of an empty bottle where pain lurked There amid the shiny laughter Bidding adieu to the anticipation The expectation of a friend who would be Like a brother, so sure and wise, He would look me in the eyes and smile Promising that with the drinking There would be the sincere inkling Of music that would surprise With its inspirational voice, its life I sought Him in the thrills The excitement of dreams coming true Bringing confidence and promise Felt by the heart who was optimistic Believing that these adventures Could rouse the heart from its tranquility Bring alive the assurance of forever Where He left my heart’s yearning to believe He would be found when I would seek With all my heart, mind and spirit With everything that I could feel I sought Him in the sadness Where I felt like there was madness Through the shadows of doubt and pain Amid the sorrows that life would bring In the worries, regrets and disappointments Where I never had thought to look before It was there that I discovered more Love than I had ever hoped for More peace than my mind could imagine More comfort that I had ever known I sought Him during the good times But found Him when I was at my worst It was there, amid prayers for relief That I discovered His kindness, His peace The way He would silence the screams Of a pain that longed to destroy me It was there, in the worst, when I found The answer to my prayers, my hunger For a God who is louder than thunder He brings grace to the one who is in need Frees the spirit from its sin and disbelief Reminds us that He shares the opportunity To listen to His advice, overcome our strife And learn to really live and grow through this life! This God is a God of peace And He fulfills my every need! All I had to do was believe!
