To love and to be loved.
For that yearning is Christ's everlasting mark,
Which he hath given to mortal man.
Oh soul which cannot rest until
Every grace is well used,
Which cannot respite 'till it is filled,
With God's sanctifying grace.
In worldly things I see no pleasure,
For all turns to rot and dust,
But seek in God my only treasure,
And thus find my truest desires.

beautiful!
Do you know I guessed you were Catholic just by reading this? Then I had to go to your bio to see. :D
It's so true that our souls "cannot rest until / Every grace is well used".
Haha!
Thank you for the compliment. ;) I don't know what inspired me to write this poem so long ago, but I wish it would come back. Sometimes poems just write themselves, and this was one of those poems.

If I disappear, and you cannot find me, please don't worry.
Just be sure to check all the wardrobes.
