~A boy is Lost~

A boy is lost in a confusing world

His path he could not see

the point of life was oh so dim

He knew not what to be


His direction flickered oh so often

like a flame blown by a sigh

Once bright and bold and then forgotten

He'd coast and then he'd fly


A beautiful child was he

so caring and loving too

but so lost in life's mazes

Not knowing what to do


There are many like him

Aimless as they go

They never see the beauty they share

never feel the love they show


I long to hold him now

to see his face

long to hold his hand and guide him

Make for him a happy place


But I cant try to show him paths to roam

Can't even share my dreams

He cant hear me now for he is gone

Like a flame or so it seems


A boy was lost and found life with gangs

Found belonging and a cause to be

Help our world to provide more for them

"GOD" help them somehow see


Lets show them all the rainbows

Lets show them love from a friend that's safe

Help them learn the self esteem they deserve

Keep them free of want and hate


Love can heal the pain they burden

it can show them the focus they need

it can let them see there is a place in life

It can make them freed


Thank you for knowing him

though it hurts to know he is lost!!
