Where are you looking for your child?
In body where you reconciled
Your thought of him with lineage,
Ancestral features in a cage
That holds old family traits outlined?
Is this what you expect to find?
Beyond true self he has not strayed,
And you will find him unafraid
Within God's consciousness; He wrought
The purity of childlike thought,
Rejoicing in the Father's care.
You who now search will find him there
As Mary found her little son
Full-safe with God, the Holy One,
If you will lift your thought to see
His spiritual identity.
