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
