My youngest son the other day had an assignment in school. He had to write a poem. He handed it in with something like, ‘Well, I did it.’<\/p>\n
Here is the result, I thought it was pretty good, but I am biased of course:<\/p>\n
Seeking the Saviour<\/p>\n
Men seek their gods with all their heart
As blind lead blind they all depart
On pilgrimage and journey long,
They join the sighing, searching throng.<\/p>\n
Toward the ground some fixed their gaze.
“The earth’s grass is worth my praise!”
Like vultures watch with hungry eyes,
They stood there to philosophize.<\/p>\n
Beside the road some took their place
And mocked the others with sneering face,
“Look not in weeds and dirt for peace,
In our own selves we find release.”<\/p>\n
And on they plod with patient toil,
In search of God in self or soil.
If they but knew how small the cost
To look upon the true Lord’s cross!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
