Prodigal Daughter

As I trekked through wilderness Without solid gold It's amazing fresh air was my buffer As I levitated from rough paths of self neglect To calm seas;I was facing slow death. I remembered seeing silhouette of You Your features fair, Your hair resembled wool I heard You say, "She's one of us gone astray." I'd gone long miles, with heavy knapsack of sorrows on my back Folks feared I was too kind; yet they wondered about my mind At the end of such times, I again saw You You had servants, and possessions of wealth I saw Yet, with fear I limped, and missed your train of rules. I saw Your world of women primed and schooled Like one of a kind queens How admirable I thought; such life I'll regain Though in Your mansion, women reigned aplenty. You commenced walking my way, with eyes on me No audible sound I heard, but tenderness I saw Made me realize, love was on the rise. One look on Your face, and I felt chased I was home again Surrender to Your love. *
