LETTER TO KATE
Dear Kate,
I checked on you, but you weren’t home
I wonder how far the wind has taken you
Are you doing well?
I was elated by my home coming
Mom dropped your messages
But sadly, or much bitterly it seems
How far you have gone from home
I spoke to the sun, maybe your shadow I’d see
I called the moon too, just in case the sun never finds you
I was worried, the darkness that glooms
If this light, ever would suffice…
Just in case you are reading this, please, do reply
I came home, but you I can’t find;
Anyways, how come you left so quickly and left HOPE behind?
I found her on the cushion with so many tears in her eyes
But you knew, you knew you could not do without her
She is grown now, ready for harvest, but you had left her behind
So she asked me to tell you this, “please, come home”
For months you stopped feeding her,
She almost died you know, but for you she survived
I checked your mail box earlier, tons of messages you got
Oh, lest I forget, Miss SUCCESS came around, said you’d been waiting
Mr. Right came in too, apologized for keeping you waiting
He’d been busy, making sure a perfect home for you
“tada, surprised?” he had planned for you
But “nada, surprised?” he got, when he found out you were gone
So far from here, the tide had taken you away
He dropped you a word, if you should come home
He said he would be waiting
Dear Kate, how far away are you?
The flowers and garden you seeded were sprouting now
The bloom of its petals excitedly shinning in the sun
The excitement of the butterflies told me this much
“If you were here, you would have been happy too”
By the way, the butterflies do send their regards
You should have seen the joy you have planted in their eyes
The hope you left behind kept them alive
But there you are, gradually fading away
Patience eluded you
You was tired of waiting
You said heaven wasn’t quick enough
You sought for clue in the wrong places
You left the shawl in which I covered you
You left behind all that was good and sweet
But, how far away are you?
I brought home the basket you asked for
The fruits of love, joy and happiness you’ve been searching for
Oh, I didn’t forget your silent prayers too; I made sure nothing was missing
I tried to come earlier but you weren’t ready
Your heart was broken, worried, you needed fixing
So I took time out trying to heal you
But how quickly you gave up, you let FAITH drizzle away
Your Angel was here, but you were gone
Though physically present, but a thousand miles away
Away from the savior you’ve been waiting for
If you decide to come home soon
Please write me, I will be waiting
Yours lovingly,
Savior
