He walked away, from love so true, Chasing shadows, a life untrue. But emptiness called, and longing grew, He turned back home, to love anew. The Father waited, with open arms wide, Unconditional love, where grace resides.

.

He searched for treasures, the world’s acclaim, But found a pearl, beyond all name. A love so precious, he gave it all, To claim the treasure, before his fall. He traded his pride, for a love so deep, A priceless pearl, his soul to keep.

“Stand at the crossroads,” the prophet cried, “Ask for the ancient paths,” where love resides. The good way beckons, a gentle call, To find true rest, and give your all. He listened closely, to wisdom’s plea, And sought the path, where love would be.

.

He found the path, where love was shown, A Father’s embrace, a love well known. The pearl of grace, a treasure untold, The ancient paths, where hearts unfold. No matter the journey, no matter the cost, God’s love redeems us, what was once lost. We wander and search, for what’s truly real, But love’s always waiting, to comfort and heal.

Love unconditional, a boundless grace, In every story, we find His face. He calls us home, from every stray, His love’s redemption, lights our way.

.

Love… eternal… home. Amen.
