The Lonely Child. Poem by Scott Forster

The Lonely Child.



Do you remember the lonely child
The one out in the wild
The one they spoke about
Who lived a life without love
All alone in the cold
They threw their stones
Hurled their abuse
Huddled in the corner
No comforting ear
Distance removed
From all of you

Play your games
Tell your tales
Slander names
Always on the outside
Looking inside
Lost in the desert
A pilgrim on a path to oasis
A seeker in search of solace
Feeling like Jude, Hope for the hopeless

The lonely child
Everyone forgets
Who hides behind a face of smiles
Who worries when he falls short
Caught in a storm of change
Pulled by the universal tides
