The Lost Child

The Lost Child

Cold chills run down my spine
The sensation is hiding the pain
The child wants to play
Time is long since past that day
Tears roll down the frozen face
Wanting warmth, hope,and faith
Longing  for something to hold on to
Yet only emptiness awaits

Hope is just a word
No depth, no meaning, no soul
Grasping for a single tread
Something to fill the void

I want the child to live again
To feel,to laugh,to smile,to love
I try to reach deep inside
Once again to hope for a better tomorrow

I really like this poem. Especially the second and third stanzas. For some reason they speak to me. You are a very talented lady, Wanda. And creative!

Wishing you well,
