Lost And Found Poem by Jayne Louise Davies

Lost And Found

Rating: 5.0


Near to the edge of the sandy beach,
Stood a building that made me feel sad,
The place where lost children took shelter,
Separated from Mum and Dad.
In that place, they were safe from danger,
Enclosed by a fence and large gate,
It's there they would spend a few hours,
In tears, they'd impatiently wait.
I've always remembered their faces,
Tear stained, frantic and scared,
I'd chat to them through the railings,
Passing them sweets to be shared,
It was always a happy ending,
I'm so glad, it wasn't me,
When Mother turned up,
Their faces lit up,
Such a wonderful sight to see.

This is a very sad poem, the title Lost And Found reminds me of my own kid days whwen my dear Mum bought a toy (a small dog in a cage) with the text: Lost And Found. Top score, dear poetess
