He greeted me warmly and I couldn't
Have imagined that the handsome
Fellow was emotionally and spiritually
Broken.
I knew of his intense struggles only
Because one who dearly loves him
Asked me to pray.
I am.
I'm asking God to deliver the lost boy
From his destructive behavior.
And I'm trying to be aware.
When a young person smiles at me and
Seems to be intact, I want to remember
That inside, the gal or guy just might be
Dying.
