The Missing Child

"Desiree Dear", we miss you so much
We miss your smile. we miss your touch
Every morning, we'd play peek a boo
This morning we didn't know what to do.
Your crib is empty, your stroller too.
Our life is in chaos - Oh! What do we do?
Desiree Dear, how will Dad and Mom
Keep you safe before you come to harm.
When you cry out, we can't rush to you
Hold you in our arms to comfort you.
We rejoiced the day that you were born
Today we mourn because you are gone.
Wherever you are, may God watch over you
Until we meet again to rejoice with you.
Desiree Dear, remember this.
Our life is yours... for you we'd give.
