Quest for the Best

By Kathryn May Chapman

I left your arms so long ago

To venture into life,

Into this world of beauty

Of challenges and strife.

What is it you would have me do?

What treasure should I find?

The answer comes so quietly

And gently to my mind.

It isn’t gold or diamonds

Or something you can see,

The Lord has sent me out upon

The quest for the best in me.
