MISSING CHILD





My eyes had lost you for a fraction of time,

While I haven't realized that this would be my crime,

At first I thought that you were playing a game with me,

Start looking for you, but all what I could see,

were the people around, and not your mischievous face,

And deeply worried I search all over this place.





Out of joint when I am calling your name out loud,

Asking around while blaming myself this unforgivable fault,

seeing every dark corner, exploring every open square,

The fountain, the store, telling me that you aren't there,

Please let her be around, oh Lord hear my little pray,

Please help me my Lord, don't take her away.





Helping by family, through friends and by strangers,

Who are trying to find you overwhelmed with desperation,

Colored with fear through the anxious twilight,

and darkest shadows tortured slowly this dark night.

How they covered my soul with heart grief and sorrow,

Please leave me in today, I can't hardly meet tomorrow.





Tel me what happened, let me know how it could be,

That you my little angel disappeared in front of me,

Where are you, how are you, or are you still alive,

Have you been taken away and now alone in your strife,

Oh my disturbed soul can't hardly describe,

The heartpain and sorrow for my beloved missing child
