Searching

I searched for love found vain

I searched for friends found loneliness

I searched for fame found lies

And reputation found shame

I searched for smile found tears

With greyed hair and with years

Searched for mercy found grudge
Anger that won’t let go

Searched again for love
Found hate and disdain

Searched for truth found him
Mercy he showed me

Searched for peace found god
Who would never leave me


Sought humility
In honor I I did stride

Went for modesty
And saw more clear the lies

Searched for silence
In there , I found much peace

Searched for knowledge
It did reside with him

In my prayers did find
A peace and happy heart

Searched for truth
The truth its only him
This search was all to God
