One Wish

The one called One Wish and it was inspired by missing children, Jodi Huisentruit, Jacob Wetterling and all missing children, whether being taken away from their families or lost through death.  They are all missing and the ONE WISH is to be reunited with their families.  
The song was written by my friend who passed in 2003, Lenny Scott and myself.  It is both beautiful and haunting.  We sent it to the National center for missing and exploited children and the president, Ernie Allen wrote stating the song was eloquent.  The lyrics are as follows, and if I could add the song listen to I would, and these are the lyrics:

One Wish
composed by Lenny Scott and Mardi Sauve
When a child is born with all our hearts we pray to God we never part, we hold them close and oh so tight, we try so hard to do everything right.  Don't talk to strangers that's what we say and we pray they're safe each and everyday and of course it's understood, we'd protect our children if we only could

Chorus
Where have you gone my baby? Where have you gone my child? I heard life could be hell but I never thought I'd know that so well. Please God help us make it through, 'cause we don't know what else to do

When someone is missing and tears come down and this world keeps on spinning around, we look for something to ease the pain, struggle through the day trying to stay sane.  "How could this happen to us?" we cry.  Without them here inside we'll die.  To lose a child, there's no stronger fear. God help us find a way to where there's no more tears.

Chorus
Please bring them home back to our arms
Chorus

I saw a shooting star and wondered why we take for granted the people we love, sometimes we forget to thank Heaven above.  I made my wish it's always the same, not money nor power or even fame it's that no one will feel the burning tears of realizing their greatest fear
Chorus
