mother wailing for ‘lost’ son (Photo credit: James Buck)

The mournful wailing of a mother who has lost her child.

Chills run up the spine that a human can make such a sound.

A man stands with his mouth open but no sound comes forth.

His wife taken in the prime of their lives.

Horrors bring horrible answers from those most horribly afflicted.

But has anyone heard the moans of God for the lost souls of this pitiful place of sin?

Who has seen his mouth open, that lovely mouth which speaks words of Life?

And who has testified that He is pained at the loss of that rebellious soul who could have held God’s promise in a perfected hand?
