Not usually very into poetry but figured I will give it a shot. Let me know what you guys think, open for suggestions:
A child’s plea:
Mother, trust me.
I am fully grown,
I can go alone.
Mother says no,
Alone, please don’t go,
Please!, is the child’s plea,
And mother finally does agree.
Full of confidence,
Bursting with independence,
On his journey, he sets out.
Soon, mother I will see without a doubt.
The way seems longer,
The worries grow stronger.
Regret, uncertainty and fear,
Mother, I wish my cries, you can hear.
A search set into motion,
We search with all our devotion.
A boy has been lost,
We must find him at any cost.
The days go by.
We cant help but cry.
Oh, Father above!
Please, return him with love.
The news broke.
Our emotions choke.
Is it true?
I won’t be seeing you?
The journey has ended.
Though not as intended.
Called from on high.
For reasons only Hashem knows why.
We are all on a way.
Our Father in heaven says don’t stray.
I am grown, I am strong!
How can I go wrong?
In just one wrong turn,
You can sadly learn,
Someone who seems to “care”,
Is actually the enemy who brought you there.
Hear your Fathers voice.
Make the right choice.
It is you who will gain,
And loyal to him you shall remain.
