An old preacher watched a pretty girl
and listened closely as she sang
a song with a deep question of life
and of a great life truth which rang
out like a philosopher’s search
for meaning in our present world
where disappointment and turmoil
like daggers toward us are hurled.
“Is there anything left in this world,”
she asked in a voice that was so clear
“that will satisfy me?” she continued
with an expression so sincere.
And the old preacher thought how many
times he had hear these words expressed
by members of his congregations
in their lives with a happiness quest.
The singer’s words when she reached the bridge
rang clear in the old preacher’s mind
“so take my hand and I will not look back”
the truth was right there for us to find
that satisfaction’s not found in the past
it is with a friend who lends a hand
that we find happiness that lasts.
Yes, the old preach thought to himself,
there is something left in the world
when we look inside with a friend
to see opportunities unfurled.
We cannot be satisfied alone
we were not created that way
life is made to be shared with others
and then becomes a big bouquet.
