Love

Child has gone missing
rains pour heavy onto the pavement
sirens wailing as the tires
hum through the slick wet night
all festivities seem misplaced
a pink scarf  frayed ominous
found on the banks of the Cass
a women made of equal parts
focus and despair
shows us a picture
of a family
child with a pink scarf
matching bow in her hair
this was her yesterday
time locked in place
first responder approaches
she falls to her knees
found her in the pavilion
crying for her mom
Love
