New Interests

I want a new interest
                    to heal,
          My heart's weariness,
           Someone to live for
                and work for;
            The one to wait for
                  and long for.

             This my unfulfilled 
                     longing,
             Makes my want of 
                      strength,
              my listlessness
        brings my languidness.

            I need to encounter 
           this healing interest,
           to cure my festering, 
              wandering mind;
            Setting its thinking
                    at rest,
          By your loving kindness
                   O my God.
