WHERE IS SHE THIS MORNING






Where is she this morning and how was her night?

When she was a baby, it was filled with tears and fright.



Where is she this morning and what has she to eat?

When she was a little girl, she would nibble at her food and run on her feet.



Where is she this morning and what is her plan?

When she was a teenager, it was trying to find a man.



Where is she this morning as a new day starts?

As a young woman her family does not know and its breaks their hearts.



Where is she this morning and will she sleep late?

As she grows older, I pray she comes home and not stay away with bitterness and hate.



Where is she this morning is a question that may seem odd.

We do not know the answer, but the one who does is God.

Dedicated to parents that do not know where the children are.  Living in fear that the next phone call, knock at the door, or visit will inform that the wandering child has been found and a parent's worse fears are now reality.  Until that moment there is hope that the prodigal daughter or son will return home.
