A Neophyte's Voice from Heaven

The poem is set in the eyes of a young child who has been kidnapped and murdered. The title has a double meaning and kudos if you understand it. Enjoy.

I grab the hand of stranger and walk down the street,

I wonder if mommy's gunna start looking for me.

I grab the grass in agony,

I wonder if this is my last.

I grab the hearts of the millions who are in search for me,

I wonder if they see my body floating in the stream.

I grab the hand of God,

I wonder if He reached for me.

I grab the hand of my mommy as she cries over me,

I wonder if she knows my souls at sea.

I grab the hands of innocence,

I wonder if the hand is ready for me.

Beautiful! I think we have all felt this way. Reaching, searching, wanting to be seem and heard. I really enjoy your writing.
