prodigal

'For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.
Luke 15:24

Like the son in the story Jesus told

I wandered
squandered my gifts
ran away
shamed my Father

And I wasted
all He had given
until nothing
remained but misery

And all alone
in my hunger
I came to my sense...
returned to my Father

Like the son in the story Jesus told

I saw my Father
run to me
arms open wide
wildly forgiving

Scandalously
He gave to me
a feast
of celebration

I was lost
but now I'm found
I was blind
now I see

Like the son in the story Jesus told
