The Seeker
For many years I searched for God,
It seemed I could not find
His loving presence, vainly sought,
To give me peace of mind.
I followed blindly, many paths,
That led to grief and shame,
I tried to ease my conscience, when,
I'd call upon His name.
I knelt in chapels, great and small,
And sang sweet hymns of praise,
I begged forgiveness for my sins,
For peace to bless my days.
One day, I fed a hungry child,
And stilled its frightened cries,
I held it gently in my arms,
And wiped its tear-filled eyes.
I clothed an elderly man, and gave
Him shelter from the cold,
The trembling smile upon his lips,
Was lovely to behold.
My questing heart was filled with joy,
I came to understand,
Each time I helped someone in need,
I touched the Master's Hand.
