What We Are Looking For

High and low we search
     in every crack and crevice
   Likely and unlikely places
     yet we find no traces

   of what we are looking for
     the reason for existence
   spending our whole lives in pursuit
     afterward, we search even more

The Bible tells us that the whole reason for the existence of Man is to give honor and glory to God. God made us because He wanted to have something to love and care for. Now let's give Him a reason to love us instead of making Him sorry He bothered. As always a fine write with food for thought. God Bless, JB

I hope that 'afterward" there will be no reason to look any more. Cool poem.
