A parents fear, their worst nightmare. <br />Is sitting alone, in a Police-room chair. <br />Being interviewed by P.C Plod, <br />About the child you've fed and shod. <br />The child you've loved since pre-day one. <br />The child you could compare with none. <br />Who's gone astray, you don't know where. <br />And you can't explain, how much you care. <br />For your child, who last you saw. <br />In public park, with ten or more. <br />Playing safe, on swings and slides. <br />And who should be clinging to your side. <br />But now is gone, you know not where. <br />And you can't explain, how much you care. <br /> <br />Heath Gunn<br /><br />Heath Gunn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-parents-fear/
