Little Boy Lost

A little boy,
that became,
lost deep,
within the woods.

While its below freezing,
winter brings,
lots of sorrow,
and worry.

People walking,
through stark of trees,
looking for limbs and leaves,
everyday, every night.

Having hope,
running on faith,
finding that little,
boy whose lost in the woods tonight.

In the end,
the discovery,
really was not right,
but at least he's not in the woods tonight.

Now your up,
in the heaven's gate,
while your looking down,
with that precious smiling face.

Thanks so much! This is a true story, there was a little boy who brought the Tennessee people together, you may of heard about it, Noah Chamberlain, from Henderson, Tn .he wondered off in to the woods and was lost it took 2 days to find him .and he didn't make it! My younger son was the same age as him ..and the words came pouring out!!
