“The Prodigal Son They gave the deep end of their heart--a hue of crimson red, They whispered their desire and offered up their bed, Yet he prayed for the spirit in the wind and God’s mysteries to find, And in the end it was her transparent heart that stole his restless mind, It really was no contest, not a question or even a doubt, But that is not where love ends or even what true love is all about, You see there was one other that rose above the rest, She was not like these women but still she was God’s very best, So the moral goes: A child answered the call to this man's wandering heart, And that is how the story ends you see... she became his favorite part, And what happened to the virtuous woman who put his mind in hell, She became the whisper in his music and a mystery to tell.” MindHeartChildrenStoriesPoetryResponsibilityDutyTrue LovePoemsProseStoryMoralsNovelsFablesEndingsParablesRumiDaughtersReasonsFairytalesProdigal SonDervishesLoveeeTruth You Can Live With Author:Shannon L.
