FOUND
She sits alone on a bench
 Despite the wind chilled air she feels no cold
 Instead the iciness numbs her inside, comforting her 
 She's left alone to search for love in the stars 
 With her broken wings she stretches up to kiss the moon
 She struggles and fights, wanting to fly again
 Feeling so close, but just falling short 
 She cries out in pain in the midst of this desolate moment
 She falls to the ground in pure agony
 There’s nothing left for her 
 But this can’t possibly be the end
 So she runs..
 Longing to be accepted
 Only needing to be happy
 Seeing a lonely future that can’t be her own
 Terrified and unnerved
 She runs
 The wind once numbing and kind is now ominous and unrelenting
 Slowing her desperate escape
 The moon and the stars, once beautiful and loving, are now intruding 
 Gradually they disappear
 Covered by a sheen of tears
 She falls to her knees, gasping for air
 She prays to Him for undeserved mercy
 Her wretched soul starved for the Father’s love
 And He leans down to comfort her
 He wraps His arms around her as she cries
 Gently mending her fragile, porcelain heart
 Shattered once again
 He whispers “My child, these times of tribulation will pass. Keep your faith in Me and I will fill you.”
 “My omniscient Creator, the Alpha and Omega, the King of kings and my eternal Father, I will follow You forever and exalt You in all the days of my life. I‘m sorry.”
 And as soon as the words leave my mouth
 Forgiveness fills me
 Only He could save my soul
 Unending patience for my mistakes
 Never will I be alone
 Distant and trivial are my troubles
 For no matter what I do, He is near
