Missing

MISSING Today she walked into your room And saw your empty chair It has not sunk in yet That you are no longer there She thinks of the good times you had Your laughter and your smile Your kindness and affection Your inimitable style You were never one to judge Treated everyone the same When someone had a problem It was to you they always came Always a good listener A true and loyal friend All who encountered you Knew on you they could depend Six months have passed, Six long long months No-one knows where you went Your bank account has not been touched Not one penny has been spent Are you living on the streets? Have you changed your name? Did someone else commit a crime And you thought you'd get the blame? Did you have an argument Or is it money that you owe? Did you feel afraid or threatened Why, oh why did you go? A missing person ad on Facebook Has had five thousand views Members of your family Have appealed on tv news You may have seen your face On a newspaper today Please contact someone if your able Let someone know you are ok The room's you way you left it But without you it looks bare Your mum's greatest wish is to look in And see you sitting in that chair
