Prodigal Child, I must let you go...

Prodigal child, I must let you go,

where to I will not know.
Shot like an arrow from a bow,

 I must just let you go.

Hope wanted you safe and warm, 

Far from choices, which might harm.

But your future is in God's control, 

So Hope must let you go.

Love had wished to keep you here,

Instead of wandering, far and near,

Sheltered from a world of woe,

But, Love must let you go.

 Faith believes and watched you leave,

Trusting angels a life to weave,
Although hearts may break in two,

Prodigal child, this Faith must do.

May Hope, Love and Faith sustain,
For these three will remain

All are praying, for your way to turn,

Until then, no bridges will burn.

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:13

Being a Mommy is hard...
