How Can A Stranger?

As a parent and mother,
I worry about my children.
I wonder how another,
can harbor such ugliness within.

How can a perfect stranger,
decide they have the right.
To be a families rearranger,
and run with your child in flight.

What gives any one person,
the idea they can take a child.
To not give a thought to what they've done,
Or the child that they've exiled.

Do they have no compassion,
for the pain that they have caused.
Do they care not that thier actions,
were long ago outlawed

I don't think I'll ever understand,
how some can be born this way.
And strip a loving family,
From the life they had yesterday.
