Lost and Found
In his eyes, I am a rag.
Dirty and unclean.
Angered and mean.
Lost yet unseen.
Walked the wrong path.
Hid from his wrath.
Thought life was a joke.
This heart had been broke.
Slowly it began to choke.
Could not handle things no more.
Inside I grew sore.
It was time, I wanted more.
Those tears that I cried, no longer able to hide.
'Set aside your pride!', he exclaimed.
Let go of the blame.
I am here.
Give me your shame.
I'll release you from the pain.
I gave my life on a cross.
It was my father's will, I suffered no loss.
This I did for all of you.
Seek with your heart and know these words are true.
When I fell to my knees, it was then that I knew.
Tears filled my eyes and I shouted, 'I believe that it's you!'
Warm smile and a laugh.
Come, he said with glee,'you now belong with me.'
