Here in a place that’s not my home

I come to study and learn

I’m lucky to have made friends

Spending time with them

Relaxing just for a while

Suddenly I’m missing

No where to be found

If you have seen me

Please let the authorities know

My family and friends are searching

and longing for me

I may not realize where and who I am

Injury may be ailing me

I may not be able to talk

and may be hard to find

I hope you will keep looking

for it’s not like me to go missing

I hope my family can hold on

To the love we all know

Which I hope will carry us through

May gods hands help bring me home

Thank you for helping in the search for me

I hope to see you again soon someday
