Searching
Unlike the story of the three wise men traveling the
same path, searching for their newborn king,
three men, travelers were doing the same thing.
Only in that path three signs that changed their day.
A fork in the path and a right of way.
On one, 'Yesterday,' next 'Today,' last 'Tomorrow.'
Not knowing which path would lead to sorrow,
Looking for a 'king' to brighten their time given,
Give them direction, and a purpose for living.
They didn't take time to sit and be still,
each one wanted to do their own will.
The man who chose 'Yesterday' alone in despair,
met a man who offered to help get him there.
Signs also were on that path, "Hatred,' 'Lies,'
'Unforgiveness,' and then mournful cries.
He had put his trust in the wrong king.
His god did nothing but torment bring.
The man who walked on,'Today,' also met a man
who offered to help him find Today's great plan.
A King at last, to meet him before day was done.
A sign ,'Pleasures for a Season,' He thought he'd won.
Next 'Money.' The signs, so pleasant to the eyes.'
He was following a god of great disguise.
The third man chose wisely his path, met the true King
with nail scarred hands. He had found His everything.
who said," Let us travel Tomorrow' together." Look above.
They saw signs , 'Eternal Life,' 'Peace' and 'Love.'
There were trials and tribulations a long their walk,
but they stayed together and had many a talk.
