Despair and Joy

The child wept,
And longed to be free
She craved understanding,
She craved a good home
She wanted to dance and laugh and sing!
She wanted to love, be loved,
And happiness bring!

She knew she was weak
And she knew she had blessings,
Yet crave she did for things out of reach,
Crave she did for what everyone wants!
She wanted a family, a doll, and a cat;
She wanted some shoes, a dress
And a hat.

But not a-one
Were hers to gain.
After all, she was just a weak orphan girl
After all, her mind was thought too sick to heal
The little girl was so distraught!
No one wanted her,
Or that's what she thought.

She thinks she's alone,
But it's so not true
God is there, watching from above!
God is there, loving and hearing prayers!
Soon to understand
God wants her!
Her path is Planned.

The light will soon shine,
The Plan unveiled
She'll be a missionary!
And she'll be a great friend of Christ!
Soon to joyfully see
Loved by more than One
And loving all is soon to be!
