Of the news reports; and fears
For a girl called Milly Dowler, missing
From her parents, friends and peers
She vanished from the station
The one she went through everyday
No one saw her or knew a thing
How does a girl just go away?
Has it really been a decade?
It seems like just last year
Now I'm a mum it's oh so real
Yet we can't all live in fear
Her killer is now imprisoned
No more harm will he ever do
Her parents work in Milly's name
Their way to make it through
This has been written as part of the Saturday Centus
The Milly Dowler legacy is now part of the Suzy Lamplugh Trust Live Life Safe
