I Sought Him

I sought Him by the roadside, Where the flowers grew so fair, And breezes blew, and birds sang, But He wasn't there. I sought Him in the marketplace, In the busy thoroughfare, Among the hustling, bustling crowds, But He wasn't there. I sought Him deep within my heart, Through solitude and prayer, I sought Him, yes, with all my heart, And now He's everywhere. Yes He is always with me, No matter where I roam, Because, you see, I gave my heart, To be His very home. (copyright 10/30/15)
