Child Lost...

Poem Artwork

It was November 1991,

The child, an eleven year old son,

Just a shoe found,

Nothing more, volunteers looked all around…

 

This year is seventeen years,

Wouldn’t he come home somehow,

I mean he would be like twenty-eight,

Let everyone know, if alive, what was his fate…

 

No amber alert back then,

All do pray constantly on his behalf,

For a change this is not one of my poems for a laugh,

Read the story attached, who knows something might come of it,

Beyond that, be he lost, or hopefully not dead,

Let me end this poem with to God an amen…

It is always heartbreaking when a child dissappears, as a parent I dont' think we can ever give up hope that somehow some day they will find their way home to us. Thank you for passing this on.

We set chips on our pets for identification, with the technology at our disposition today it can't be so difficult to inject a non-incasive chip in our childrens with a satellite tracker.
Kidnappers, pedophiles, disgrunted kidnapping-parents and run aways could be localized in seconds.
I know, I know, some lame brains will come with that "privacy" bullshit, I will want to find my lost child fast, period!

Ed,

Powerfully moving, unusual for you, you're usually full of smiles. I hope they can find this young man.

Amen.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(
