THE SEARCH
by Darlene Casino From where does fulfillment come? How then is it even found? What does fulfillment look like? I have really looked around. What is the definition? What wordage do I enlist? It seems to only elude me Like figures within a mist. Is it found in financial freedom, Having money in the bank- Lines of credit one receives In stocks and bonds highly ranked? I thought about position, And one's status in this life- Rungs on the corporate ladder And all appears without strife. Does it come with second homes, And vacations on the lake- Boats, skis and country clubs Will this fulfillment make? Do I need creative ways Talent in the many arts- To sing, paint or write a poem Would this be a place to start? Is it found in ones family, Where love and concern abound- Affirmations freely said Is it there that it is found? As I searched and I struggled Sought to find the answer true- I recalled words in the Book That had presented clues. While money is important To meet the daily needs- Positions serve some purpose Be aware of growing greed. Fulfillment means completeness Left missing unless you see- Though all these things be present There must be "JESUS IN ME'. I am a freelance writer and a retired nurse. I have 3 grown sons, 2 daughters-in-love and 5 grandchildren. My husband and I will celebrate our 48th anniversary in '08'. I became serious about writing after my retirement. My work has only been published on-line thus far. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
