Lone Wanderer

Forsaken by friends and sense, And having taken the way of offense To earn his elusive daily bread, He pursued clandestine paths evil-led; A lone wanderer on unknown streets, Where he sought to win his fortune in bits Twisting the necks of innocents, And from unsuspecting pockets extracting cents! FATHER AND I Father and I lived together for years twenty and four, Much of this time was spent quenching the bliss of youth; Not knowing that his treasured company would one day eternally go, And I would be left a poor miser with no male to love; And that nothing but the Savior can fill this gap. I shall however his causes endeavor to serve And upon his doctrines labor; Even though his company I for a time shall miss, We shall meet in the savor of eternal bliss!
