'My Girl' 

We don't speak her name 
It's far easier to pretend 
This child now missing from her mother's arms 
When does this nightmare end 

Each night she kneels before the Lord 
Prayer seems to be her only hope 
Another day has slipped away 
In the morning will she cope 

This child no longer knows her home 
Her family almost strangers 
And with the sorrow comes the fear 
For this world holds a feast of dangers 

There is no right nor wrong to this 
A mother's love is just too strong 
So again tonight her mother prays 
'Lord send her home where she belongs'
