She was just a child when she took her arms and squeezed tightly the life that she had labored for
Hours and hours of discourse
Days turned to weeks, weeks to months to years
She's out the door
What she left behind
Had two eyes, father's lies
I think it was a boy
He grew up into a young man who believed he was not worth looking for
So full of anger so full of strife
Alone, confused, and scared in all shapes and types
He was just a child when he learned
That love's not to be expected, no!
Love must be spoken first
The devil has done his work
Will you succumb to this or be free like a bird?
My son would do well to learn
Love's not that simple especially not for God's people
