Sonnet: Where Can I See God?

I searched for God in everything He made, But could not see His countenance at all; I sought Him where devotees sang and prayed, But could not see Him there or hear His call! I strained my eyes to see Him in a flow'r, And when a mother gave her child her love; He wasn't there in the mighty sun-beams' pow'r, Or in the beggar seeking alms or dove. I searched for God within my mind and heart; The Holy Spirit left my sinful soul; I confessed all my sins, so, on my part; I saw God everywhere in my cleansed role. No one has seen the Almighty till date, But righteous find God en way to His Gate. Copyright by Dr John Celes 9-08-2014
