missionary kid

Her heart's a hopeful airport
a thousand strangers scurry through.
She checks their bags and sends them
on their way to somewhere new.

Her mind's a busy airport,
so they try to travel light.
Extra baggage is expensive
and they'd rather skip the line.

Her soul's a lonely airport,
missed connections to reroute,
for every person who comes in
is on their way back out.
