*Saw Him within me
In the tears falling from my eyes
In the smile blooming in my lips
Saw Him in everything I see
Sadness made me think of Him
Happiness made me thank Him
Saw Him in every way I go
Each face reminded me of Him
Each place gave me the feel of His presence
Wherever I am, He is with me
Surrounded by Him everywhere
And He is the Creator
He is within Me!*

I walked upon and across the waters,
to a chapel on the stormy sea.
Inside there was an altar of gold,
and a peculiar effigy.
My eyes beheld it's white marble face,
my mind paid homage to it's maker.
And when I finally turned my gaze,
I spied the hermit undertaker.
I asked him: "Who's effigy is that?"
He pointed to the Greek word for God.
"He, the almighty?" I enquired,
the hermit gave me a deathly nod.
I turned from him to the statuette,
But what I saw surely couldn't be.
For as I peered with widened eyes,
I saw that the figure there was me.
