The Missing Kid with Missing Teeth

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: August 1, 2010

Searching for Kyron (and answers)…

The missing kid with missing teeth
(a pint-size victim of some thief)
has found a home within our hearts
though he remains at large.

He'd just completed second grade
with no real cause to feel afraid.
Sweet Kyron loved his Skyline School.
He loved his mom and dad.

That ready toothless childish grin
(his parents long to see again)
has been reduced to photographs
on posters and the news.

Those haunting posters with his face
are more than that. They make a case
for how within a God-blessed land
we're stalked by evil still.

Dear God, be near this dad and mom
who try their best to stumble on
in search of answers (and the boy)
they loved with all their hearts.
