BEAUTIFUL BOY

Where have you gone my beautiful boy?
Where have you gone?

Your eyes, once bright blue
have turned to grey...

Where have they gone?

Where have you gone my beautiful boy?
Where have you gone?

Your golden hair now an ashen hue;

Where is the gold now my love?

Where have you gone my beautiful boy?
Where have you gone?

Your rosy cheeks have turned to pale;

Where is the smile that sat in the middle?

Where is the smile that held so many perfect little chicklet teeth?
The smile has given in to your pain…

Where have you gone my beautiful boy?
Where have you gone?

Your once flawless skin now tracked with marks
and the blood that flows beneath, mixed with poison

Where have you gone my beautiful boy?
Where have you gone?

Your strong and tall frame now bent with cares that were never intended to be yours;

Where have you gone? Who took you from me?
How do I get you back?

I am looking for my exuberant child…has anyone seen him?
I know I will find him…
the promise of God rests on his life

There he is! There is my beautiful boy!
He is not lost at all….but resting in the arms of his Father.

  3. I want you to know I am praying hard for him. God put it on my heart to remind you that you are the light in his dark world don't let it dim with discouragement.. you know that is how the enemy gets power!! By making the light source believe it is to blame...in order to dim the light or extinguish completely. All lies of the enemy my friend.

  4. I can guess what this is about, for I too, share and feel the same pain as you. I wrote a poem, that I will share with you. My eyes were swelled with tears immediately knowing where you are coming from... Anna
