The child has gone
Such a long time
They searched like everywhere
But something told them
The child has gone
They started looking inwards
Watching expressions
Looking for that clue
So strange, nothing
The child has gone
Days turned to weeks
Nothing
Nationwide alert
Calls came in, including the cranks
The child has gone
The search died down
Talk spread
Children stayed indoors
Fear became the byword
She watched within the large tree
Her secret hiding place
It was fun
The earth collapsed, pulling her under
She tried to scream
Too late
The child has gone.

Oh wow. this is heartbreaking and probably written form something that happened in real life. In which case, you have honored and dignified the loss of the child that is gone. Thanks, Paul, for sharing. /Rik.
Did read it somewhere.
A heart yanking poem Paul. The best kind
It is a bit.
This is very sad Paul. Reported in the media every so often.
It is a bit sad.
Such sad words Paul. When any child goes missing it is an agony for all.

It must be the worst feeling ever.
