I waited for you for 15 months,
I thought about you every day,
I missed you everyday
I had hope for your return for 15 months
How did they not value your life
How long did they torture you for
How many hours did you spend crying alone
How could your tiny mind know what was happening
Were you allowed to take your first steps
I wonder what your first word might have been
What an incredible man you could have been
Your tiny body lying cold and alone
Your little hands unable to feel
Your precious little life lost to terrorism
Your innocence ripped away with no remorse
Today I mourn a family member I have never met
Today I mourn for an entire family
Today I mourn with my people
Today I mourn as I do every day hoping and waiting
