The Search
Oh God forgive me,
still I long to find you
in a soul outside myself –
Someone else
to dust off my dreams
and take them off the shelf
Someone to mirror
all that I
cannot yet see I’ll be
Someone else beside myself
to show me You in me.
Will there come a day
when I’ll be strong
no longer need
no longer long
for validation
adulation
praise and love
and all those thoughts
that make me think
that there’s a reason
for my being,
Something I’m not seeing
Something making me
feel as if
I deserve
the love
you planted deep inside
to set me free.
Who will show me this
Oh God?
Who else,
if not me?
