LOST BEAN

LOST BEAN

Once upon a time

There was a little bean

She was so green

one day she decided

to go on an adventure

so she packed some things

and went out

she wore her best dress

as she left

she was a beautiful bean

she wandered here and there

through lighted areas

and dark places

after several weeks she looked around

she looked around

and sat down

looking around

as she looked around

she realized something

she realized she was lost

having no idea which way to go

and she began to cry

missing her home and her friends

she began crying thinking she would not ever see anyone she knew again

as she was sitting there crying

a gentle voice spoke to her

she looked up and through her tears

she saw something

and thought was seeing things

what she saw was a light

a beautiful light

she blink her eyes

thinking this can not be real

after a few times she realized it was

the light being sit down beside her

and softly said in a motherly voice

what is wrong my child

with tears in her eyes

says I am lost

the light being smiles

and looks around

and says my child

you are not lost

you can never be lost

because I am here with you my child

you maybe a long way from home

but never lost

the light being rises

and says take my hand dear child

time to go home

she took the hand and

in a flash of bright light

where she was

had vanished

and she seemed to be in the light

and not in the light at the same time

and when the light about her disappeared

she looked around

and she found she was home
