Finding the Lost Children

As the world turns
A woman searches for her child
Mothers are 'burning' with anger
Because of some stranger...
Where are the children?

Years pass by yet they are not found
Parents at night are sleeping
But their hearts are weeping
As the world turns, children disappear...
Will they be found?

A man searches for his child
Fathers are in pain—
When their search is in vain...
Will they be found?
All we know is that they are the lost children...

Very well written and on a subject that is not talked about enough, Mark. I couldn't possibly imagine that feeling and pray I never have to.
