Looking For The One Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

What questions I have to ask you Lord.
You know what I have done in the past.
I slipped and fell from Your wishes
When I stayed on with young Mike,
who wants only to sow some wild oats
or what could be a few weeds in life.

The men in my past still linger in me.
yet there has never been one that agrees
with my curious yet devoted nature
towards You Lord who has never left
and never will. Why is it when I love
it always seems to be a onesided affair?

The man that I love must love You first.
I have known two that loved You and also me.
Yet Father, I could not be satisfied.
I did not love them as they said they me
for there was always something missing.
I'll continue to wait and not love as hard.

If there should ever be one for me,
I pray that he might come quickly and give
the love that I need and one I can give him.
I bring this to You now since I've become sore
from the way other men have been so faithless.
Only Your love can heal my wounds, no one else.

Father, I know I must give every burden to You
through Jesus who does give me comfort freely
and I should never cease to thank You
for the troubles and for my slipping feet.
I have displease You because of my self.
I now lay at Jesus' feet thanking You.
