For a Long Lost Child Did Die

This is a poem about a mother that lost her child. Its a true story

For a Long Lost Child Did Die

A woman’s cry

For a long lost child did die,

Or the daily news must lie.

Her howls with screech

Piercing people like a withering leech,

On a most drastic beach

For a long lost child did die.

The child swam to fast

And should have only received a cast,

For a sharks nibble happened to be too vast.

For a long lost child did die.

A mournful sorrow arose in crime

When a woman was so fine,

Claimed that child as mine.

For a long lost child did die.
