A Father's Relentless Pursuit

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: June 7, 2009

Why David Goldman won't quit fighting for his son…

Life for David Goldman sucks
for no amount of hard-earned bucks
can free his one-and-only son
from those who kidnapped him.

It is a hell that steals his peace
while waiting for young Sean's release.
No words exist that can describe
the agony he feels.

But like the shepherd David was
(who left the ninety-nine because
one missing lamb is worth the risk),
this David will not quit.

A father's love (like Heaven's hound)
won't give up till the lost is found.
It's biblical. It's what God did.
His love can't let us go.
