I Care I Search

I care, I search in the depths of my heart,
A higher power that will guide me in every start.

God the loving Father, the nourisher of life,
Helps me tide over and conquer every strife.

I search for love’s golden thread connecting one and all,
Uniting nations and people as a single whole.

I search for God’s benevolence and beauty everywhere.
Wish to astound people by showing that I do care.

I search for the light of wisdom’s warm embrace,
So that from my life, darkness I can displace.

With wisdom as an abiding and bosom friend,
I know, the journey through life is easier to mend.

I search for a fresh dawn and a beauteous setting sun,
And peaceful sleep when my task for the day is done.

Peaceful sleep, is something one must always be grateful for little things in life that we care for and search for and when attained can be something one must celebrate! I love the flow of this poem and depth of this write, and flawlessly this flows. Especially “ i search for light of wisdoms warm embrace” “ darkness i can displace” exquisite rhymes. Your poem made me feel like this prompt is an easy one to do! Love it!

A very beautiful and exquisite poem this is, dear lovely soul.. I am in awe of the way you've so gorgeously knitted this poem with golden threads of His grace, shimmering in rays of light & hope. "I search for the light of wisdom’s warm embrace", "I search for a fresh dawn and a beauteous setting sun" Wishing for peace and healing in new beginnings, isn't this everybody's wish? Loved reading this, wonderfully woven :)
