A Hundred and Fifty Days

A hundred and fifty days have passed

Since I've seen your smiling face

I've looked this whole world over

I can't find you any place

A hundred and fifty prayers I've prayed

That's one for every day

But I'm still waiting for an answer

Sometimes it works that way

A hundred and fifty sleepless nights

Waiting to tuck you in

I have at least a million questions

Wondering where you've been

A hundred and fifty apologies

That's what I owe to you

I don't know what I was thinking

Lord what will I do?

A hundred and fifty lonely steps

From the mailbox to our door

I didn't know a stranger was there

Or what he had in store

A hundred a fifty days have gone

Since we laid you in the ground

We buried the picture you loved the most

Your body was never found

[Barbara Walker]

This is terribly sad. Sorrow written in rhythm and rhyme.

[Owlgirl]

Wow, well written and great rhyme scheme with a smooth flow. Great twist at the end! Amazing work! So sad and melodic, great!!

This is sad :( but a well written expression of it.
