Girl goes missing

She disappeared.
Seemingly without fear.

But her mother would disagree.
She says her daughter's step lacked it's usual glee.

Her step had no skip,
Which was unlike her clip.

Weeks of searching
Led to nothing.

Growing suspicious.
Was this act malicious?

Two people caught.
They believed her cooperation would help a lot.

But nothing.
How devastating.

Now charged separately in her death.
A family holding its breath.

On what could have been, they dwell.
Eyes begin to swell.

They must try to forget.
Despite their regret.

Until you can watch them every minute of every day,
Teach them what you may.

You can only hope for the best,
And hope these lessons are never put to the test.

Look both ways before you cross the street.
Don't talk to strangers that you meet.
