Lost Boys

In the West and in the East
The Lost Boys are yearning
Not just to fly and live free
But to be whole 
To know family and love
And raise their own
With the knowledge
Of what it is
To have once been lost
And then found
Belonging.
The Lost Boys are back
Knowing their place in the world
While all around them
Confusion and disillusion still swirl
As if from another world
Of make believe.

They must find their way. They must find God.

Indeed! It is not easy being a young man today. They need to find how they can give and so be needed.
