The Children

[Deborah Lynne]

~The Children~

A little girl, so all alone
Sat crying, so forlorn
Her little dog had ran away
Her heart was broken and torn

A little boy, the same age as she
Asked her why she cried
She looked up, with tear-stained cheeks
Her pain she could not hide

She told him of her little dog
That she just loved so well
And how he'd ran away from her
To where she couldn't tell

She said she'd called his name outloud
But he did not come back
She'd told her mommy and her dad
About her doggy, Jack

She'd asked if they would help her find
The little dog she loved
But they were much too busy again
So she prayed to God above

She asked if He would help her, please
For Jack was all she had
He loved her unconditionally
Not like her mom and dad

The little boy dropped down his head
His bare foot kicked a stone
He said his dad had went away
His mom leaves him all alone

The little girl looked up at him
Said it sounded like he was the one
An angel had said she'd meet a friend
And soon her trials would be done

The angel had said that the friend and she
Would find her little stray
And as they gathered him close to them
God would lead the way

She didn't know exactly what that meant
She just knew angels never lied
So with trust she held out her hand to him
Her smile growing wide

The little boy then took her hand
And they ran off down the street
They stopped and questioned everyone
That they chanced to meet

As they rounded a corner, they spotted Jack
In the street where he'd been struck
They ran out and gathered him close to them
They didn't see the truck

Two angels and a little dog
Abandoned here on earth
Were taken home by God that day
And given a brand new birth

Show your loved ones every day
That they are special and loved
You never know when they might be
Called home by God above

Good Morning, Deb

That was absolutely beautiful....so inspired. I just cannot believe your talent. Thank you so much for a beautiful story. It was sad, but not really when you think of where they are now.

And, I agree with you that we should hold everyone we love dear to us everyday because we never know when it will be our last encounter, at least in this life.

This world is not my home. We are all just passing through.

Blessings,
Karen
