From the Book Chapter 2 Labyrinth (a response poem) Poem 4

I’m a lost weary child

in a world so cruel.

A lost weeping child

given the name of a fool.

A wandering child

seeking love I can’t find.

What is wrong with this world?

Are people so blind?

I am just a mere child

unworthy of praise,

wandering around

in an endless maze.

I’m seeking affection

I know I won’t find,

For this world has proven

that nothing is kind.

Poem Four David Salie

Dear lost child, don’t despair,

there’s love to be found somewhere.

The world may be tough, but you’re strong enough.

Keep walking and keep believing,

and soon you’ll find what you’re seeking.

There are people who care,

who will love and be there.

Don’t let the darkness consume,

you’re destined for a brighter room.

You’re a beautiful soul,

and you’re worth being whole.

So keep your head up high,

and never stop reaching for the sky.
