From A Lost Child Poem by Dee Gey

I went… Seeking a world for myself.
A world that’s more than a place.
Somewhere to fit in…somewhere-
Where I belong.

I explored… A long journey.
A long walk. A narrow path.
No one by my side.
Nobody… no guide.
Nothing… not even a light

I’m lost… Then I stopped.
I glanced up the sky.
The sky so lonely as I.
Never bluer and more cruel
Unlike the days gone by.

I realized… I wasn’t right.
Now, I can’t find my way back.
I wish to be home again.
Welcomed… forgiven.
I hope there’s still a chance.

I will wait … When the dawn becomes day
and the day becomes night-
I’ll be praying for that gentle touch,
or just a smile that could say so much-
“Arise and take my hand, dear child”.
