I Hope You Come Home
I’d give my life to see you live one happily
 I can’t understand the motivation someone could have to hurt you
 A child so fresh to this world, it just hurts me
 I see the tears of your mother, and the plea for you to come home safely
 As she pleads with the public, my heart is crushed
 In the form of tears is all her fear and love
 I don’t know you,
 But I know that it’s not fair for you to be taken away from your family
 I’m disgusted with those whose minds are sickly
 And would bring harm to your innocent body
 I pray to god you’re brought home
 But knowing this world, and the people of it
 … I just know there are people out there that are sick
 On the television screen they broadcast a picture of you smiling
 In that frozen moment in time, you seem happy
 To know that somewhere you could be crying out for help
 Screaming out to be rescued
 I can’t do anything but cry for you
 My heart goes out to your family
 Nothing is impossible I’ve learned
 I just pray you’re returned
 
 
 ~This is for you Somer, 
 hopefully you come home
