Poem
The kids are playing in the park It's late afternoon, but not yet dark Time for one last game of hide and seek "Everybody hide and nobody peek". One little girl stops on the grass to tie her shoe She has to hurry before they find her to Suddenly a shadow falls over her She looks up to find a strangers face "Hello little girl", the man says with a grin "Would you like me to help you win"? "I'm not allowed to talk to strangers Mommy says" He reaches out and takes her hand "Well ", he says "My name is Sam" Now that we have met, your Mommy wouldn't object "I guess your right", she says with a smile on her face And she lets him guide her to a hiding place Within an hour, everyone is searching the park She hasn't come home and now it's dark They search and search, but to no avail Her Mother is frightened and very pale The police arrive and comb the woods A short distance in, The search dog Buddy Makes a very grizzly discovery They find her lying on the ground Her tiny body bent and bound Her panties down around her knees The horrific scene covered in leaves Her Mom sees the ambulance by the woods She arrives in time to see her beloved daughter Being carried in a black bag thru the trees The shock and pain bring her to her knees Her tears rage, "Oh My God, how can this be, It was only a game, who whould want to hurt my child?" She shakes her head, her eyes gone wild "Dear God, please no, don't let this be, please, please, bring her back to me"! A few days later in a little church graveyard She buries her only child Her anger burns deep within For the person who perpetrated this sin She prays to the Lord for justice to prevail As the casket is lowered to the ground She prays that he will soon be found Across town on that very day The children are playing in the park It's late afternoon, but not yet dark A man approaches another one and extends his hand "Hello", he says "My name is Sam"!
