a poem i wrote... an expression of grief
 
wandering lost within you



wandering lost within you
the child you were meant to be

years of addiction have replaced
the smile we were meant to see

wandering lost within you
the man you were meant to become

eyes filled with pain and anger
showing how hurt is now numb

wandering lost within you
the belief in a God from above

that we are all children in his hands
receptive and deserving of love

wandering lost within you
the spirit of such a pure soul

wishing to turn from directions
that keep you from reaching your goal

wandering lost within you
the power to speak your true voice

wishing to reach out with honesty
now guided by things not your choice

wandering lost within you
the man i shall ever love

magic once made upon this earth
a gift from our God up above

wandering lost within you
a spark i shall always believe

could kindle a flame of recovery
and cancel the deep need to grieve

wandering lost within you
the light that i see even now

restless within your own spirit
silently wondering how

wandering lost within you
Gods love is waiting with grace

to gather together your worries
sunshine to fall on your face

wandering lost within you
a man of bright brown eyes

no longer wishing to hide
within the addiction and lies

wandering lost within you
a truth you will know of one day

beyond the pain of this world
my prayers have paved your way
