Missing in Action (for a friend)

Missing in action
I guess that means dead somewhere
It wasn't like he was hiding under the couch or anything
The kids would have found him
They were always looking
They saw it on the news at Sears
It’s been several years
since he went missing
I wanted them to stop
But they searched every day
in the garage were he played
low, under his truck
and high, where he kept dangerous stuff
Enough is enough! I screamed
I lost it one day
They huddled in the closet, on his side
under suits barely used
wide eyed, hiding
from the mother they thought they knew
who, from her reaction
too, became missing in action
I love you...
