Today Is September 1 2007

On this day 16 years ago a beautiful baby girl was born. As I cried they took her away. My grandmother watching as if nothing were wrong. Photos came for a brief moment then stopped She was gone never to be herd from or seen. It seemed as if she just vanished. The agencies said her new family had moved. No forwarding address to be found. They apologize for the inconvenience. Trying to convince me not to give up hope. Hope what is this, something I find hard to have. Years have come and gone and not a word. The last photo I reserved she must have been 3 or 4 years old. My search it still continues today, but not a trace of her or her family do I see. On this the anniversary of her birth I still cry for the loss of my baby girl I bore so long ago.
