I see a sea of blue,
It reminds me of you.
I cry, I weep,
I cannot sleep.
I am here and you are there,
Knowing that you just don’t care.
My pain inside I just can’t bare.
Knowing that you just don’t care.
I hear a song, and I cry.
I can’t believe you said “good-bye.”
I feel hurt.

I love the story of the Prodigal Son. You know the story. He went from the love of a father to the stench of a pigsty. An inheritance squandered. A life wasted. Forlorn and dejected. And then he resolved to return home. We read about the speech he had prepared. He would recount his own
