"Treasure Hunt"

From: (Collected Moments)

By: Sherry Davison

 

What is it that you are looking for

Most of us don't know

We only feel an empty space

Way down in our soul

 

The emptiness creates the search

For that which we don't see

We only know that deep inside

Resides an unmet need

 

We try this and we try that

And all to no avail

It only lasts a little while

This wind that fills our sail

 

Here today and gone tomorrow

It never seems to last

Before we turn around

The wind is in the past

 

The sails come down again

Back where we once were

Searching yet again

For our souls to stir

 

 

One has to wonder

Will we ever see

This search exists for things

Which are yet to be

 

God set eternity

In our very souls

Truth that we discover

As the journey unfolds

 

Each day we live

While here on the earth

An adventure waiting

To be given birth

 

Every moment is a chance

That we have been given

To know our God

That we might start living

 

That for which we search

Is not a thing at all

He is the Creator

Of all things great and small

 

The things He holds for us

Are treasures oh so rare

To the things of this world

They cannot compare

 

One does not see these things

But they can be known

Nothing can destroy them

They flow from His throne

 

 

 

We look everywhere

To find that which we need

Because we cannot see it

Upon other things we feed

 

Testing, tasting, trying

Until we think we'll find

That one final thing

That will ease our mind

 

Most of what we try

Is a temporary fix

We try and we try

To find the right mix

 

And all the while He waits

Patiently you see

For us to give up

So that we will flee

 

Into His open arms

Where we finally find

Everything we need

For our peace of mind

 

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field.

Matt 13:44

 

Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Isaiah 26:3
