Lost and Found

In his eyes, I am a rag. Dirty and unclean. Angered and mean. Lost yet unseen. Walked the wrong path. Hid from his wrath. Thought life was a joke. This heart had been broke. Slowly it began to choke. Could not handle things no more. Inside I grew sore. It was time, I wanted more. Those tears that I cried, no longer able to hide. 'Set aside your pride!', he exclaimed. Let go of the blame. I am here. Give me your shame. I'll release you from the pain. I gave my life on a cross. It was my father's will, I suffered no loss. This I did for all of you. Seek with your heart and know these words are true. When I fell to my knees, it was then that I knew. Tears filled my eyes and I shouted, 'I believe that it's you!' Warm smile and a laugh. Come, he said with glee,'you now belong with me.'
