The lost, found...
Imagine a nightmare
The loss the fear the panic
Of your child being taken from you
The despondency
You would pray
Cray rant and rave
You will plead
Every moment of everyday
You will search
Running you will seek
Crawling you won’t give up
Collapsing you still try not to give in
Prayer turns to bargaining
Promises offerings
Dedications, trades
Sacrifices
Dedicated love
Taking another step
Morning, loss
Realization
Realization but never acceptance
Silent pleadings
Tears in the night
As time moves on
Sudden frantic phone calls
Screaming collapsing
Dreaming crying
Twilight unreal limbo
Unreality of light
Memory of hope
New fears, prayers
Screams, Mommy Daddy Mommy
Your nightmare ends
Your arms enfold
Your hands caress
The child you hold
