My Longing

 

What are you looking for? You asked me. 

I heard it while reading a father.

It was not with words that you spoke,

Tell me if I can answer.

In life you never limited me,

But the answer, how will I explain?

I was looking for you and you always loved me,

I may have been a nun, but also a mother.

Maybe it's late, but my consolation,

It will be your face, to see it in heaven

When my soul will take flight.

I seek you, remove the veil,

Make my soul love you with zeal.

My good Jesus: You are my longing!
