Wandering Child

Wandering child

So lost, so helpless

Who is there to guide you?

You wander from one hurt to next

Seeking that love which will define you

But when will you come to your Lord and Savior?

So that in my hug I can bind you

Wandering child

So lost, so hopeless

When will you see that I love you?

All I want is your well being

To see that joy in your eyes once again

 

Wandering child

I have not lost you

I am there at the door knocking

Waiting for you to invite me inside

Wandering child

So cold, so lonely

Come into the warmth of my love

And I will hold you and guide you

I only await you to invite me into your heart!

An amazingly written poem with a great message.
However, the fourth line: "You wander from one hurt to [the] next
The flow is also quite awkward. In a way, I can appreciate it because the poem is about a wandering child of God who is quite clueless as to where they are going. But maybe look into it and see if you can make some changes.

What a wonderful poem! It holds a great message. =)

A powerful call to Faith

NOTES: "Wandering child…" is a refrain. I think it would give more impact to the refrain to set it out in lines alone, thusly:

[Wandering] child…

So lost, so helpless
Who is there to guide you?
You wander from one hurt to next
Seeking that love which will define you
But when will you come to your Lord and Savior?
So that in my hug I can bind you

Wandering child…

So lost, so hopeless
When will you see that I love you?
All I want is your well being
To see that joy in your eyes once again

Wandering child…

I have not lost you
I am there at the door knocking
Waiting for you to invite me inside

Wandering child…

So cold, so lonely
Come into the warmth of my love
And I will hold you and guide you
I only await you to invite me into your heart!
