YAHOO GOD
I searched high and low for my friend from childhood
Didn’t know how to find her, didn’t know if I could
It was sixty-six the last time we met
Parting that day, I still can’t forget
We were close as two could be
Plotting and planning a life full of glee
One wanted family, the other career
One moved far, the other stayed near
It was seventy-six and families were growing
Meeting each other coming and going
Thoughts of our friendship took a seat in the back
Consumed with kids and husband, keeping them all on track
Eighty-six brought graduations, wedding bells and babies birth
Everyone was busy and happy, living life for all it’s worth
For me to be called Grandma by smiles on sweet faces
Was truly a blessing filled with His graces
Then came nineteen ninety-six, nothing would be the same
For it brought betrayal and divorce, changing everything, including my name
I took back the name of my childhood, it remained pure and true
With it erupted many a memory, sweet ones of me and you
Are you still married, are you happy, I pray
So many questions and so much to say
Do you have children, did they have a baby
Could my kids meet your kids, I was wondering, just maybe
If I can find you somehow some way
What would you look like, what would you say
Would you give me a hug like my memory of old
Would I sense you are open or would you be cold
Thirty years is a long time, a lot has changed no doubt
When I find you, will I know you, will my heart's desire win out
To be reunited hand in hand, eye to eye and heart to heart
That is what I always wanted, so let the searching start
In the year twenty o six I found Yahoo, Google and Bing
You should have seen the sites I visited and heard those engines sing
Searching records, sorting dates
Watching and hoping, I could hardly wait
I posted my message, then two, three and four
I was getting closer, of that I was sure
With no more to do but to pray and to wait
I knelt down before Him, our God who's so great
I surrendered my searching and gave Him my heart
As my strength was ending, His could now start
She searched with yahoo, I searched with bing
It was when God searched that made our hearts sing
The Lord who sees all would search to and fro
No corner of darkness his light would not go
He seeks north to south, He saves east to west
Talk about your search engine, Jesus is the best
He found her! He found her! I scarcely believed it
Recalling my prayer, by faith I received it
She showed up on facebook, asked to be my friend
One click of a button the searching would end
As if back in childhood in memories we shared
It was very evident we both really cared
The first time we met was two thousand eleven
Reunion at school like a small taste of heaven
She traveled far while I was still near
To see one another we both held so dear
The bond had not broken,the love not diminished
We spoke simultaneously, “Our lives are not finished”
Any sadness was gone, brightness was shining
Gray clouds departed, leaving only their lining
Silver and gold, gifts from above
Tears of rejoicing, tokens of love
He found each of us saved by His grace
We found each other in Him in this place
A reunion of hearts and revealing of souls
Going forward with plans to fulfill all our goals
