The Searchers

Looking for lunch in all the wrong places,
Unloved, hungry eyes set in introverted faces,
There’s spirit there but only traces,
Hunting for signs of love from all races,
God uses people to dispense His Graces.
Where am I among these human cases?
One small step may be the basis,
Of many far reaching paces.
...Dare I.. ?

How sad it is to look upon the world and see those hungry eyes, nearly devoid of spirit. I think God inspired you to write this poem and remind us that love exists in "all races." Great work, Rob! Love, Carolyn

John Wayne made a movie with this same name, but a different story. this was a great write enjoyed reading it. thank you for reading the cellar door and for your comment, shep hated it when i brought him in the house, so he stayed out side by the cellar door or in the garage when it was cold.
