Innocent Child

Creeps I call them

Kidnapping our innocent children

Predators lurking with no conscience

Victimizing our little ones

As servants and slaves

Their privacy is violated

By these disturbed human beings

Parents continue to hang onto hope

And God's amazing grace

Their child will be found

As they hold on to their faith

Never knowing if their child

Will come home to stay

It is sad that this could happen in a world that should be safe for children everywhere. Keep the magical writes going. Sara

This is a sad but realistic view of what's happening in our societies across the globe. Parents are left, with terrible grief and only their faith to see them through. Good job, Donielle! Peace and love, Audrey
