Wandered Away

WANDERED AWAY They once prayed beside each other you’d see him grab his Mama’s hand Years ago when just a young boy Before becoming a grown man. Special connection when they prayed Three squeezes give each other’s hand. Their secret code said, “I love you” Quietly between Mom and young man. Parents still hold their children’s hand right before each and every prayer Hearts of some Mom’s moan within No need to reach…no one’s there . Now alone when it’s time to pray These Mom’s grief… God’s taken away True spiritual hope placed in their hearts “Child’s still in God’s memory today.” Holy Spirit stands where child once stood Faith friends, never leave Mom’s alone God’s spiritual family’s always close They now claim “These Mom’s, as..Their Own!
