My Little Runaway( Part 2)

The years together went by fast,
But things were never right,
For on his search for her in vain,
She  slipped out through the night.

 She left her darling child,
With a man she knew would care,
Continued her drifting on the street,
Though her soul was filled with fear.

He searched the streets forever,
 Looking for her both night and day,
He searched from morning until night,
He knew she’d lost her way.

His heart it was broken,
For he lived his lonely life again,
Trying to raise this tiny child,
Each day his love to reign.

He couldn’t give up on his belief,
Of one day she would return home,
And fill his heart again with love,
That was meant for him alone.

As the morning light crept in,
He awoke now from his sleep,
To find her curled within his arms,
In dreams of her own so sweet.

A nightmare he tossed aside,
As he held her tight that night,
He knew the love that they had found,
Together proved to be just right.
