A child was born one summer's day
His daddy was afraid and went away
His eyes as blue as a cloudless sky
Too soon to see how Love can often die.
They moved to the streets by the time he was five
His mommy felt alone even with him by her side.
"I love you, Mommy," he told her one day
She ignored him as usual and sent him away.
He cried, then ran, seeking shelter from his plight.
Years later he returned reeling at her sight
His eyes stared blankly as he held his head high
He hesitantly approached waiting for her lie.
"I love you, son," her pleading voice said
But it was too late her words were now dead.
Turning slowly around, he walked proudly away
To seek a place where he could pray.
"Dear God in heaven, please hear my song
Help me forgive my mother's wrongs.
Give me hope so I can heal.
Let me love so I can feel."
Amen
