“Kyron Horman Will Someday Be a Basketball Star” by Bob Rich

When you’re seven years old and a child, the world always shimmers with wonder

The shining nightlight of the moon, the sky’s rumbling sigh when there’s thunder

Adults are as tall as zoo elephants, and trees are like geysers of wood

Cars are like spaceships from Star Wars, that sail through the whole neighborhood

For seven year old Kyron Horman, the journey of life’s just begun

Yet somehow he’s briefly gone missing, inside of Portland, Oregon

He goes to Skyline Elementary, where he plays basketball with a grin

He dribbles the ball with excitement, while the net brightly sways in the wind

But soon we will find this boy Kyron, and we’ll see how resourceful his town is

His red-eyed tree frog science project, is the start of how he will astound us

He’ll come back and play Knights and Dragons, he’ll swing up to the clouds on a tire

His bright eyes will soon see his mother, and her joy will have never soared higher.
