Lost What Is Lost?


I am who I am, me

jack reasoned

if I change I will be someone else

jack did not want to be who he was

but he did not want to be someone else

so jack remained who he was

but the devil came to jack

and set out to make jack him

so jack decided to make the devil himself

he became a good kid

with the devil always setting him up

and getting him in trouble

and as jack turned to god

the devil had an interesting challenge


when jack was just walking

he was placed in a tractor tire

as a barrier to keep him contained

when his sister who was watching him

went to the house for something

he crawled over the barrier

and walked unsteadily to the street

but there were so many cars

he became afraid

and changed his course

to walk along the sidewalk on his side of the street

when he got to the neighbors

he looked back to see no one following him

so he ran as well as he could

to the crossing for the next street

he had difficulty with the curb and fell into the street

but managed for there were no cars on that street

he crossed the street and crawled 

up the curb on the other side

continuing on his way

there was a big dog chained

to a tree near the sidewalk

and jack was afraid

but when he saw the dog

could not reach the sidewalk

he summoned all of his courage

and managed to get passed

without even crying

then he did the same

the next two blocks

until he came to the corner

and crossed to the candy store

he went in the store

and the lady running the store said,

well hello there

where did you come from?

and she took the boy

and set him on the floor

where she could keep an eye on him

asking him his name

to which he replied, me

for he did not know his name

all he knew was he was me

and she did not either

to this day he is me

in about a half hour

his sister came into the store

and found him sitting

among the customers

munching away at his penny candy

she picked him up and hugged him

he never knew he had done wrong

until a much older age

but as through life

god, the holy spirit

was with him all the way

for four or five years later

he was saved

but he always fell away

until the next time


his younger sister

and his nephew

the former a year younger

and the latter two

found a penny

in the alley

and tried to talk him into

going to the candy store

but he wouldn’t go

and showed the adults

what direction they went

they picked him up

and carried them with them

they found them eating

cookies in a strangers’ house

two blocks away

and they made jack

out to be a hero


but one day 

while playing hide ‘n seek

he crawled in under the back porch

that was open about a foot high on one side

and waited to be found

but it took a long time

and he took a nap

there in the dirt and cobwebs

waking when he heard them

calling and hollering out into the swamp

and came out to see

what all the commotion was about

they were amazed

and made him tell

the entire story

calling him the winner

of the entire game

which came to an end

explaining he had done no wrong

he was a good boy

and never did anything

he should not do

if he knew it


then when the entire family

went to the lakefront

he wandered away

and there were people

sitting on blankets

a little ways away

from each other

and he would walk

from one group to another

until he was quite a ways away

from the family who sat

on blankets or stood holding

the little ones in their arms

then he saw they were eating

cooked wieners on a bun

he walked right in among them

and was given a hotdog

but while he ate

he heard someone say,

have you seen a lost little boy?

and they said they didn’t know

but they had a boy among them

that went by the name of me

they were so happy to find him

they made a  big fuss

and moments later he

was among his family

and his relatives

but he could not understand

what did they mean he was lost?

he knew all the time where he was

here! 


later he found out his name was jack not just me

and that it was possible not to be here

when he thought he was here

he could be there!

but to this day he has never met a stranger


then there was the time

he went with them to the grocery store

he followed mom into the store

without her knowing it

but there were so many people

and cans of food

and food in bags

he got distracted

and couldn’t see mom

so he decided to go

back to the car

but when he got there

it was gone

and a big scary clown

asked him if he was lost

he said they were

but the clown made him stay

with him while he asked into a mic

if anyone had lost a little boy

there it was again

he knew where he was

at the grocery store!

they were lost not him

in a few minutes

here came mom

but this time she scolded him

why did you wander off again

and get yourself lost?

after that he was afraid

of being lost

and would wake up at night

sure he was lost

and cry
