Finding God
By Sheila Rubin © 2011
As a child, I looked to the heavens to find You.
As a youth, I did not seek You.
Now I've found You in my heart.
The heavens did not reveal You .
In my youth, I did not seek You.
Now I feel Your Presence within my heart.
How did I not see You?
Why did I not seek You?
For now I see You everywhere.
In the flowers and the trees,
The gentle summer breeze,
The soft skin of a baby new
The trusting eyes of a child of two,
The warmth of a lover's hand
When you know he understands,
You are all around me,
Within and extending from me.
How did I not see You?
Why did I not seek You?
For now it is so plainly clear,
You are in all that I now hold dear.
