The Loving Father

The true nature of God
revealed in the story of the two sons
the one who roamed and
the one who stayed behind
the reckless and the dutiful
each needing a lesson, to grow
the love, the open arms of the father,
this is the true point of their story
we learn the lesson they could not
watching the loving father,
waiting always, for the wayward children
with arms open wide
to all his children
