So Long Ago That Day - A Poem for my Lost Child

So long ago that day
      How I knew you were
mine
         As we walked and we talked
            And Daddy promised
               He would NEVER
                  Go away
 
So long ago that day
   Our friends at the zoo
      We gave them names
         And Daddy said,
            He would NEVER
               Let a lion or bear
                  Or ANYTHING
                     Hurt you
 
So long ago that day
   We laughed and we played
      We danced and we sang
         And when you were afraid
            Daddy held you
               And he prayed
                  That he would NEVER
                     Let you go
 
Now... how I cry
   And the torrents
      Could NEVER
         Fill the sea
            Between....            us.
 
Where have you gone
   My child?
      What creature
         Has captured you?
      
 WHO HAS TAKEN YOU AWAY?

It is always difficult and painful when a child is lost, whether that loss is from death, distance or simply because the child we once knew has been replaced by a seemingly different person.
