Staying in touch

Drifting off to new shores

It was so hard

For you to do

For some families

They have no clue

One minute your there

The next you gone

Your seat is empty

Our hearts are been pulled along

Saying goodbye

Not knowing when you would return

If you would at all

You did come back

But then you were gone

As time passed by

So did we

Then we heard nothing

Our hearts nearly stopped

Our voice did drop

Where were you

We did not know

We searched for you

We looked for you to show

Effortless journeys

Nothing came of it

Until that one evening

A social event

A message

Could it really be

We had longed to know

What happened to you

On your journey

To explore

When finally

Ringing you

A voice on the other side

I nearly passed out

My feelings i could not hide

Glad to hear that you were safe and well

The past didn’t matter

We did not dwell

We were glad to know

That we could finally contact you

You were our missing link

To the family

Who will always love you
