Natalee
by Melissa Martin Natalee, the world longs to find you And drop you into mother's awaiting arms. Natalee, fathers everywhere ache to protect you And save their own daughters and stepdaughters. Natalee, your family holds your picture to their chest And screams for evenhanded justice. Natalee, your siblings hunker down in your bedroom And sob perennial tears for their sister. Natalee, your friends yearn to turn back the clock And see one more of your dazzling smiles. Natalee, your high school teachers are forever changed And they see your face in the crowd. Natalee, your homeland mourns for you And sheds heartrending tears for a safe return. Natalee, people of faith pray for you And besiege God for answers, but God sees where you are. Natalee, the days, weeks, and months go by And we vomit anger at your captors. Natalee, your disappearance shocked us And we hug our daughters tighter. Melissa writes about the God and human connection and condition. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
