Treasure

Looking high and low 
All the earth, everywhere I go 
Though the seas and nations that surround
Yet what I search for is still not found 

An expedition to find a new place 
Time and time again, moving at a constant pace 
Searching for something new 
But running out of things to do 

I am left in bitter distaste 
Attaining riches, 
Money, 
And fame 

But all in vain 
For once again it’s all for nothing 
I find myself dissatisfied 
And in shame, left with a wandering heart untamed

On the top of the world it may seem
But buried deep in complacency is me 
Longing to be free 
I search but do not see 

The answer is right in front of me, 
God it is You 
You are the treasure that I have been searching for, 
And the only one that will satisfy this longing heart within me.
