Poem

I Care I Search.
So many years had separated us.
I felt a sense of accomplishment
when I visited the church that I and
My family attended when I was very young.
The pastor was leaving, but he opened the
door and allowed me to walk through the sanctuary
of that little country church where I accepted Christ
as a child and was baptized. It was also sobering as
I walked through the cemetery.

I Care I Search.
When my search began 15 years ago,
I did not know who was dead or alive.
Shortly before I began, I was informed
that Bob had passed on. Perhaps Bob's
passing hastened my quest to reconnect
with old friends and other people I knew
many years ago. After writing a poem about
him, I later learned that Dennis had passed.

I Care I Search.
Dennis and Johnnie were my closest friends.
A few years ago, I learned of Johnnie's
whereabouts and his current health status.
Three weeks ago, I met with Johnnie whom
I had not seen in more than 50 years. That
is why seeing him was most touching, and I might
add that I have never felt a feeling like that.
Due to his mental status, our communication was
limited, but just seeing and touching him was rich.

I Care I Search.
My search was initiated because I cared so dearly.
In so many ways, I have a deep debt of gratitude.
I don't know anything with which to compare this
my feeling of richness, my invigoration experience
of finding people, places, and things of my 'yesterdays'.
