Search and Find 2000


A circle of searching had brought them round,
as they saw each other and both were found.
A little girl happy to see her father's face,
shouted in joy and towards him raced.

Her mother, with another child, complained
she had looked to long,
his disappearance just plain wrong.
Plaintiff words rose to his defense,
indignation being immense.

Mother and father missed the girls delight,
lost in the fear of their own plight.
The child cared only that he was found,
bridging the last distance with a leap
and a bound.

If a search ends in finding what was lost,
why is anger the foremost cost?
Rather look at the joy on a child's face,
and celebrate reunion in love's embrace.

Luke 15:9  And when she does find it, she
calls together her friends and neighbors
and says to them, "rejoice with me because
I have found the coin that I lost."
