To Place or To Find
When I meet someone I want to know more,
Do I place my own feelings, or find what's in store?
Do I place out my hopes — and hope they'll agree?
Or find that their hopes are like those in me?
Sometimes I have placed ambitions and schemes
alongside another — and hope God agrees.
But then I have found as I wait on Him more,
a treasure in another He's put there before.
I don't have to place it,
polish it, and smile;
My work is to find it, admire it
— and rejoice all the while.
