My heart forgot its God for love of you, <br /> And you forgot me, other loves to learn; <br />Now through a wilderness of thorn and rue <br /> Back to my God I turn. <br /> <br />And just because my God forgets the past, <br /> And in forgetting does not ask to know <br />Why I once left His arms for yours, at last <br /> Back to my God I go.<br /><br />Emily Pauline Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prodigal-2/
