Little Boy Blue
by Traci MabatsA little boy went
missing once
from a hotel
his family was
staying at
They searched for him
for hours
until they finally found him
at the bottom of
the hotel's pool
where they had passed
several times
but couldn't see him
because he was
so blue 11/14/2004 Author's Note: Thought I should add, this was based on a true event that happened when we were in Grand Forks. They put out an Amber Alert but later that day discovered him. I can't remember how old he was....
