My Task

by Sue Ling - Not entered

the face in the window looked back at me
cold and hungry that's all I could see
my body had given up to the cold
but my soul was forever seeking it's goal
somewhere out there among the crowd
is one who could make me feel proud
many years ago when I was young
out of wedlock I gave birth to a son
a place in my heart always on my mind
to my god I pray only that I may find
to many years now I have let pass
time to start my search and end my task
will I ever find the one I had given away
or will my search fail and go astray
just to see his face and hear him speak my name
would cleanse my soul and take away all my pain

Reason for writing:

    wrote this about a young girl I had met in san francisco
who was on her search,
