For Adji, Haleigh, Hasanni, Marc & Sarah:
Dear God, I know it’s your Son’s Birthday
so, I feel strange asking for a gift;
it’s not for me, it’s for the little ones
who’s hearts sure need a lift
Father, these little ones are lost to us
gone without a trace;
No one has seen these precious ones
we don’t know what hazards that they face
I ask that you watch out for them
keeping them safe and warm
Please take care of them
making sure they know no harm
Let them know that we are looking for them
to help put things back to right
We search & pray for them
both daily and at night
Thousands are still searching
with what little clues there are
we are looking for them
by internet, boat, & car
Father please help us find them
hopefully happy, safe and sound
but if that’s not possible Dear Lord
then into Heaven is where they’re bound
If they are with you, God
please hold them in your embrace
give them our love & Good Tidings
Lord, as they are covered by your Grace
Tell them that we miss them
& Christmas just won’t be the same
but we want them to enjoy themselves
at the Birthday Party held in Jesus’ name
Amen

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackThanks for the nice article. Adding all the Amber Alert pages was a wonderful thing to do.
Bless you

I think jan is gonna call in sick.
There wont be much to discuss on Haliegh until someone either gets arrested or confesses to the crime. imho
Lesa, this is a touching poem. If any of the children’s families read this I’m sure they will be grateful and somewhat comforted by your kind gesture.
Thanks everyone for your comments. I had written this poem while at work early Christmas morning. It was delayed in getting posted due to the Holiday. Unfortunately Sara was found murdered later that same day. May God Bless & Keep her. My heart goes out to these children & thier families & friends.
AW,what a beautiful poem!!!!
Pinkey32/Humbled….Hey! I was just asking about you on the Sarah Foxwell thread. I hope all is well with you & yours.
Thanks to everyone for your comments. It does help to feed my need to do something for these kids.
I signed Sarah’s online Guestbook at the Holloway Funeral Home. It is my belief that her family will be touched & emotionally bolstered by the thoughtful words, even of strangers, maybe especially of stranger. I hope that you too choose to sign. She will be Put to Rest on Jan 2 2010 @ 11 am.

No recent news (post-Christmas) about Adji Desir
or Haleigh Cummings
Thank you HollysGmom for the link to Saras guest book. I believe you are right. It will touch her family.
This is a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing it with us. You have a beautiful heart. May God Bless you.
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and I wish you all a bright and prosperous New Year.
Well written poem. It touches my heart. I bet heaven does have the best Christmas’s.
I went and read he Tributes on sarah’s Guestbook. It was extremely touching. I cried a few tears at all of the heartfelt senitments written there. Many are from locals to her home town, some are friends and aquaintances of Sarah’s. There are some who never knew Sarah and others who have posted from around the country. I still would like to see more. I am writing an updated article in an effort to “spread the word” about Sarah’s Guestbook.
Also cent started a “candle lighting chain” for Haleigh. I will post one for Sarah as well.
Two of the Five children I named have been found deceased. (Marc & Sarah)
Two of the five children are deceased by LE standards & statements (Haleigh & Hasanni)
The remaining child has had no case updates for months. It is very likely that he too is deceased. (Adji)
When I wrote this poem I had high hopes for all of the named children. It’s been an ugly few months since. I only pray that the two remaining children (Adji & Hasanni) will be found alive. It is not likely, but one can only hope.
