About the Poem
This poem I wrote outside of my church. I was having a very rough week due to personal problems, however found enlightenment through a grandchild who hugged me and told me she loved me, a very old woman who smiled at me as she shook my hand in church, and my best friend and roommate who has been an inspiration to a lot of my poems.

As I was looking for encouraging words for my daughter's graduation book, words that would erase shadows of doubt for our amazing God, I was touched by your perspective and blessed by your poem. Thank you! I will share it with her!

I Found God Today |
| by Tommy Q |
|
I found God today through the eyes of a child He looked up at me and he gave me a smile He brought me such comfort for which I have longed Through the eyes of a child I realized I belonged I found God today in an old woman's face As she held my hands, I felt God's embrace From problems in life I knew I would prevail Which I felt through her hands so old and so frail I found God today in the warmth of a friend Who has given me strength for which I can depend When life had me down and I felt so depressed I realized through my friend just how much I was blessed I found God today when I searched for so long And it's now I realize, he's been there all along In family and friends and in all who I see Each day I find God and now I've found him in me |

so true. at times we seldom realize that God lives in all of us if we let him. I PRAY THAT WE ALL LIVE GODLIKE LIVES SO THAT OTHERS WOULD SEE JESUS IN US AND THROUGH OUR LIFESTYLES FIND HIM IN THEM TOO.

This is truly touching. I know that God lives in all of us, and I feel Him in me every day. But, as this poem states, I also see Him in the eyes, smiles, and touches of others who are not afraid to allow Him to shine through them. Your poem is lovely, touching, and a beautiful tribute to our Lord. I truly enjoyed reading. Hugs, Patricia
