You are loved

Dear Joshlin, little green-eyed girl
Your disappearance affects the entire world
You do not deserve what is happening to you
I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through

There is something I want to tell you today
Dear Joshlin, you are loved in a special kind of way
Millions of people are praying for you, and begging God above
I want to tell you today, that you are loved

You are God’s child, and He will free you from the devil's claws
Where you are held captive, I pray that God will break those doors
I can only imagine how your little heart is breaking
And how you must be shaking

Hang on dear Joshlin, your safe return will be soon
Of what God can do, you will be living proof
Though you were failed by the ones you love
South Africa will welcome you back with open arms

You are loved dear Joshlin
You are loved
You touched the hearts of many
And gained an entire country as your forever family

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
