To the editor:
Shine a light above your porch
Light a candle in your heart
Be the brightness in the darkness
For the Haileys make this start
Let love beam within your souls
May your eyes be opened wide
For the sake of little ones
Let awareness be your guide
Enbrace the Haileys post and present
Don?t be afraid to cry
Vulnerability creates bravery
In the midst of the question ?why??

Bravery to fight!

(Editor?s note: ?Hailey? refers to Hailey Owens, a 10-year-old girl from Springfield, Mo. believed to be abducted and murdered earlier this month)
