It only took a moment for her To vanish into thin air They searched and searched But could not find her anywhere The news force rallied round And posters immediately sprang up Volunteers combed the streets Vowing never to give up Her family sat in silent shock Disbelief held back the tears That someone would be so cruel To take a child of only six years Days passed without a clue Then suddenly a month went by Still the child was not found But the family continued to cry A year went by with no luck No trace, no break, no clue Life went on, it had to you see, There was only praying left to do A hiker found the body Hidden deep in the desert brush Police and film crews were alerted And descended in a rush Outside the parents home They stood crying in the rain Relief mixed with grief tonight To shadow a parent’s pain. Rain fell as she was laid to rest Given to God, she forever sleeps Sadness felt in all mortal hearts and For lost children, mother earth weeps |
