Seek the Good

I see a world gone far astray

Hope is lost, I hear some say.

Faith has been replaced with fear

Because our ears no longer hear.

Eyes can't see, for they are blind

We search for things we cannot find.

Hearts are broken, like shattered glass

Help those in need? I think I'll pass.

How sad and dreary life appears     

It seems to bring me only tears.

What purpose does life hold for me?

What can I do, Who can I be?

Do not forget your divinity

Raise your eyes and you will see.

God is there and will never leave

To His son we must always cleave.

Follow the path he laid for you

It shows us what to say and do.

Good deeds are waiting to be done

Will you choose to be the one?

Share your tears and share your joys

Spend some time and play with toys.

Hold someone's hand who's time is near 

Your purpose then becomes so clear.

Look around and you will find

Those to whom you can be kind.

Love and service heal the heart

But you must be the one to start.

Hope is restored, all is not lost

For this peace, there is no cost.

Faith, not fear, lights my way

Seek the good, for that I pray.

The still small voice.

Listen to the whispering voice

Each time you have to make a choice.

It may be difficult to stay strong

But know to God you will belong.

The world has now become so loud

Our heads held high, we are so proud.

We can make it on our own

Until we reap what we have sown.

We must remove the worldly cares

So the voice has room to share.

He's never very far away

His voice is stronger when we pray.

Heaven begins to seem so near

As we take time to make things clear.

Each step we take to change for good

His love for us is understood.

Remove the baggage from our soul

Learn of him, His name extol.

Heed the written word of God

That we may know what path he trod.

Upon our knees we all must go

To learn of God what we must know. 

In quiet places we'll be taught

The mysteries that we've always sought.

Open arms await each one

Embraced by Our Father's only son.

That is our hope, that is our prayer

To be in his eternal care.
