Searching

I searched around me but could not find
The one thing I needed… peace of mind.

I searched for it in my occupation
I even search for peace in my nation.

Searching, searching where could it be?
Searching, searching it seemed to be hiding from me.

I looked overseas… I even searched the heavens above.
Finally I realized that peace comes with love.

Love comes from within and not from without.
It is something that is with me if I can only see it, I have no doubt.

After searching and searching I finally surmised
That peace is feeling that can be truly realized

When you look within and accept God’s true gift.
The gift that he offers will give your spirit a lift.

Look within yourself and you will see
That peace of mind and happiness will come to be.
