A Searching Today (for You and All Who See)

A searching today, a Spiritual Awakening in me

for my Lewis and Clark, explorer of new worlds,

for my Neil Armstrong, first to step out onto the moon,

for my Curie and Pasteur, discovering a cure.

A searching today, a Spiritual Awakening in me

for my Mozart and Beethoven, composing symphonies,

for my Dickinson, Whitman and Angelou, penning poetry,

for my JFK and MLK, striving for justice, peace and unity.

A searching today, a Spiritual Awakening in me

for my Williams and Musial, hitting one out of the park,

for my Jordan and Bryant, flying and dunking with accuracy,

for my Mother Teresa and Albert Schweitzer, serving compassionately.

A searching today, a Spiritual Awakening in me

for my Jane Goodall and Francis of Assisi, lover of creatures

great and small,

for my Edison and Ford, seeker of light and ingenuity.

A searching today, A Spiritual Awakening in me

for my Sagan and Hubble, discoverer of Cosmic Universality,

for my Roosevelt and Cater, conservator and builder

of communities...

for my Yahweh, Krishna, Buddha, Muhammad, and

Christ, sharing a hopeful and prayerful

part of me with the Innovator and Creator in you

during these difficult and trying times of need.
