Cheated
Why does one child walk,
another talk,
while still yet another
will say nothing
the rest of their life?
How much loss can be endured?
How many dreams dashed
against the rocks
before given any chance
of flight?
Anguish fills a mother's heart,
and I am overcome for the moment...
again and again in my life.
Jesus, my anchor in the storm.
The Lord my guide in the darkness.
My Savior,
who watches over my child,
and gives comfort
when none can be found.
Angels surround
and around,
keeping close watch on
the gifted, drifted from perfection,
and lost in rejection.
