The Need To Worship



Posted: Wednesday, April 01, 2009

What's this need we seem to have,
To worship and adore,
To build a temple, mosque or church,
And to our God implore?

Some say it's just religion, and
In some ways they are right,
But when did feelings first arrive,
To make us seek the Light?

Some say that they are Atheists,
And God does not exist,
But this is learned experience,
Yet in it they persist.

This need to trust comes naturally,
Was with us from the start,
In every culture 'round the world,
Embedded in our hearts.

I'd say there is a God above,
For this is how I feel,
This feeling comes quite naturally,
And that's the big appeal.

I didn't have to make it up,
Was there from the beginning,
This trust in God empowers me,
And keeps my soul from sinning.

David Pekrul was born in New Westminster, B. C. Canada.

He wrote his first poem in February, 2004, as an Anniversary card for his wife, Linda. Being rather pleased by the results of his first attempt, he wrote a second one, then another and another. He soon realized that he was in love with words.

The pictures that his words paint may not always be pretty, but they are pictures worth viewing, for he writes about the world around him, whether they be things good, bad or otherwise. He also writes about family, nature, God and faith.

His first poetry book, "Parts Of The Sum Volume One" has just been published and can be found at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3145051

David makes his home in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies with his wife Linda and spoiled pup, Tiki.
