Lost

Lost 
Makinde Adebayo Adeniyi

Tears in the rain 
Like rivulets running down my face 
Forming a pool at my feet
Lonely river flowing into 
the open arms of the sea
Lost in the depth of the deep

Then the sun takes it all up
And down it comes again
Tears in the rain
Lost in the torrent 
Lonely river flowing into 
The open arms of the Sea.

The ship is lost at sea
Tossed around by the waves
Broken to pieces by the storm
The anchor no longer holds

Mayday! Mayday!! Mayday!!!

We got to know we are lost before we begin to seek for guidance, God's spirit is sent as your anchor but the world is the big waves and storms that seek to pull one away, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance
