THE QUEST

by LaRue Watts

For most of my life, I've been on a quest.
For what, I was not sure.
I knew that the heart beating in my chest
Endeavored to be pure;
To only see the good in those
Who chose to come my way.
For every thorn, there is a rose.
That's bound to bloom one day.
So when I found the loving tree
I thought my quest was done
For somewhere in the "you and me,"
We merged becoming one,
And yet, I feel I somehow knew
The quest was so much more.
The things I'd hoped for "me and you"
Were wonders still in store
In truth, you made the answer plain
As sunshine in the skies
As clear as day and right as rain
When seen with both our eyes.
It wasn't only love I sought;
I now know I was after
That miracle to me you brought
A tree with leaves of laughter.
