I Looked For God
I looked for God to be revealed. I thought!
Now will some wondrous miracle be wrought;
Some mystic sign will surely now appear
To prove beyond a doubt that God is near.
But life went on in much the usual way;
Familiar homely tasks absorbed each day.
No mystical experience was mine;
No evidence of miracle divine.
But, gradually, with heart alert to see,
His signs in simple things were shown to me.
I saw Him in my house, fresh-cleaned and bright;
I saw Him in my sleeping child at night.
I felt Him kneel beside me in my garden;
At close of day I knew His peace and pardon.
I looked for God and found Him all about -
No miracle - just peace replacing doubt.
