Lost Child

See those stars in the heavens above Feel the night close around you Child who never felt a mother's love Don't let the anger surround you Everything seems beyond your reach Failure in whatever you try Hypocrisy in all they teach Sometimes you just want to die Life has never been kind nor fair So many paths to choose Doesn't seem to make a difference No matter what you lose You need to focus on all that's right And the positives in your life Make it through another night Go beyond the hurt and strife You have so much to offer the world Hidden behind the pain Feeling that your souls been hurled Into the pouring rain Rise above the anger and rage Never looking behind you Like a final scene on life's stage Let the power of love remind you

A beautiful write, Vince, and one that many can integrate into their lives..."Never looking behind you", is no easy feat. I did try again for the Coast Guard, but this time I was eliminated before it was finally processed.:( You hand the reader a slicker and umbrella..thank you!! Best wishes, Mikki

As a retired teacher of over 30 years, I wish some of this love could be spread in inner-city classrooms around the country. Love, daver

To know how to be loving and give love one must first expoerience the gift of love. There are more lost children in the world than the world knows. It is hard to know the depth or size of an unseeable wound that most do not even know is there. Huggs TLee

You have such a heart for young people Vince, it has been evident before, and if my memory serves me well, I know you have counseled and worked with those who come from troubled homes. This poem speaks of who you are, and how much you care. :) God Bless
