Prodigal Son

One day the younger son decided that it was time he went on his own Yes, on himself he so prided feeling as though he was completely grown So much good stuff out there to do as he asked for his inherited share Basically saying Father I don't need you and for this life I don't care And so he took his share of money and was really having a ball Yes everyday seemed to be sunny as now he could finally have it all But then his Fathers money ran low until one day when it all ran out Those "friends" where did they all go as now he began to have doubt He tried to feed himself but it was so hard to even find a job And now in deteriorating health how his dignity, life would now rob For after he finished feeding the swine he could then eat what was there Oh how in his mind he would often opine as the flies landed in his hair Perhaps I could return to my Fathers place even to be just a servant For my Father I could not face and not having even a penny to pay rent But as he came over that distant plain his Father forever waiting for this day His sheer joy He could never even feign as He ran to meet his son on his way Oh how the Lord is waiting to meet you His best Cloak in His Hand Just believe this is true and like the son you too will come to understand Jesus is the One who told this story in explaining His Fathers love for You If You only knew of His Amazing Glory you would head back home too Luke 15:11-32
