    As a young man
    As a young man,
    I seek the truth;
    I seek for something to strive for,
    and something to cleave to.

    As a young man,
    I seek for what is right;
    I seek to live after the laws of righteousness,
    and spiritual insight.

    As a young man,
    I seek to behold my destiny;
    I seek to fulfill my quest, my journey,
    and all my Creator invested in me.

    As a young man,
    I will not boast of my self;
    for I fear God,
    whom I treasure with every breath.

    Well...I'm simply running of of expressive adjectives... This has ministered to me personally as to what my husband and boys reach in faith towards.. and it is my precious and vital 1st ministry..to encourage and exhort and give of myself over to that abundant call... Yet again... JL... Another Pearl Of Great Price revealed, valued, and treasured.

    As jesus said "If I glorify myself, then my glory is in vain." I like how you seek the deeper things.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
