Now Voyager
Sing sad songs to a wanderlust child born
stagnant love the heart of a mother's scorn,
raised by elders, unfamiliar parents
to the loneliest heart, lost and errant
struggling in hope to find the better way
amidst the misconceptions of each day;
play a melody, rhythmic, soft and sweet
where a discarded child's heart-achingly beats
part of dream and hope forever longing
integral to family belonging
find the lessons learned are hard and true
no more could a solitary child do
return love honest, unconditional
to mother's heart touched love transitional.
