A Child Who Has Run Away
1st poem is: A Child Who Has Run Away
Lord, why did he run away? What it something I did or did not do? Doesn't he know that I love him? That I care? It is so hard to have him turn his back on us. To have him far from home and family.
Lord, please place a hedge of protection around him. Keep him from harm and from harming others as well. It is so difficult to accept that there is little that I can do except to continue to love. Mothers like to fix things, make things better, and this time I can't. Please give me the patience to wait on You.

I bring my little ones to You,
commit each to
Your loving care,
then carry them away again
nor leave them there;
forgetting You
who lived to die
(and rose again)
care more than I.
Ruth Graham Bell
