Finding Christ

by David R Spellman

I've searched thru libraries
read books galore
studied the bible
and many more

Read up on Buddha
and Socrates too
consulted brahmans
even found a guru

Meditated daily
and prayed to God
thru all philosophies
my mind had trod

With all I studied
I hadn't a clue
'til I went out and
found Christ in you

So when you meet me
hold your surprise
when you see the love
from within my eyes

In each of you
found what was sought
in the least of these
just as He had taught

I agree with what Mo said... How beautiful this is David, so in keeping with the teachings of Christ.

As everyone else has pointed out Dave, this is a beautiful piece. I love how you brought God/Christ out of the lofty and obscure and into a more human vessel. A touching statement of love and discovery. Thank you for sharing this Dave *s*

Mother Teresa would compliment you on this poem. Her message was that she saw Jesus in those who were so needy! That is definitely love reaching out.
