Runaway Child

Far away from home Nowhere to go Nowhere to be accepted No sense of belonging Sinful man maybe he is A disgrace to his family Deprived from his home Shameful of what he is People shook their head as they judge him Murmuring and whispering words against him Yes he might have done what they are saying but not all But even so he needs to keep running away Walking in the street with the scorching heat above and dirty road below Hunger and survivability have cause him another mistake He said to himself, “They must be right there is no hope for me to change.” Remorse and regret are all he feels For he thinks his family’s misery are all because of him He wants to go home but is he worthy to do so? Brace yourself runaway child and stand up from where you have fallen Close your ears from whispers of hopeless word Listen to your heart and let your will overpower the darkness that covers you See and know that there are still people who are waiting for you to come back Run and follow the light until you find your way back home Where you will be loved unconditionally no matter what For you have been forgiven and accepted since before you runaway.
