Abducted
A young boy
Just five years old
Went missing today
Taken by a woman
Bearing wings of an angel
But she brings no saving grace
Tonight his parents had to walk past his door
Knowing he is not in his bed
Their baby is out there in the world alone
With a monster that really is there
Will they find this little boy soon?
I shiver to think
What if she gets away?
I'm filled with a mother's rage
This isn't okay
His family will not sleep tonight
Nor will they until he comes home
*Note: This was inspired by a true story. He went missing this morning, abducted by his noncustodial mother, and was presumed to be in grave immediate danger. Happily, this particular child was found safe and sound. This is often not the case, though. This goes out as a salute to the parents who cannot tuck their babies into bed tonight.

So sad that some feel the need to take what is not theirs. Children are so special and when yours is missing...sleep does not come easy. Good poem, sad subject! Good job, Anthony
thank you! I can't imagine surviving the first night if my child was missing! I'm so glad it wasn't mine and I'm so glad this story ended happily!
Yes, we hear about children taken from its parents by someone (a crazy person) way too often. I don't know if I'd would have survived the incident. My daughter is now a mother and my grandchild is very precious to me. Thanks for bringing this issue to the light as a reminder.

I don't think I'd survive it either! I'd prolly go to jail for murder if anyone ever tried to take my kid...
Thanks for your comment, Val! I hope you have an awesome day and a Merry Christmas!
need to keep the young safe
Tragic!
Good MSG random enigma
need these sorts of writes
Luv from Jai :)
Thank you! I feel very passionate about child safety. It's one of the few things I feel would justify capital punishment. You did a good job helping me to think in ways of MSG writing. The grasshopper listens
