Missing?

All thoughts now on Christmas, maybe rising bills, travel and how to still have the very best of times…

SO another thought for all year long about family members, loved one’s etc who just disappear, no word, no message or contact, just gone.

My poem from 8th of 11th published books possibly asks questions for a problem that not too many suffer, but do they?

Missing

Most of us will have loved ones

That we enjoy hugging and kissing,

But sometimes life can become hard

If a special one just goes missing.

Because you may not have a clue

Of situations untoward or wrong,

But concerns and fears may escalate

If a disappearance goes on too long.

As over two hundred thousand people

Just go off and disappear each year,

And that’s one adult in five hundred

Who give their families cause to fear,

For their safety and well-being

When having a personal nightmare,

That they could be suffering alone

And feel nobody seems to care.

Though most people who go missing

Seem to very soon get safely back,

But others can be away for decades

And in long years all contact they lack,

Leaving families worried and afraid

Of that door knock they dread to hear,

Telling them their missing relative

Will no longer be coming near.

For sadly many never will return

Or complete a suicide they planned,

Thus a bewildered and guilty feeling

Leaves friends and family damned,

By a failure of real understanding

Of why no cry for help was heard.

Nor any noticed behaviour change,

And in fact they never said a word.

Now it can really only be imagined

The level of pain and anguish felt,

By usually decent and loving family

Of treasured relatives who melt

Away into a world full of uncertainty

With cameras and security everywhere,

But still fail to find or solve a mystery

Why the missing leave folks who care.
