I Am A Seeking Man


I do not know if I am

a good religious man,

but know that I am a seeking man,

a seeking deeper wisdom man,

I’m mostly seeking truth.


To find it I must test it,

test what I think is so

To find it I must first test a bit

deep inside my soul

For more compelling clues.


I know I’ll never reach the end

of all the mysteries

But I’m looking day-by-day

behind the histories

to read unwritten news.

Most of all, she is crazy about her brood. She smiles more when she’s with them. Laughs more. Enjoys more. Relaxes more. Has more fun. She just loves her family.
