I felt angry and sad, my heart left behind.
Could I play hide-and-seek, with no one to find?

Excerpt: Find Momo Everywhere (by (author) Andrew Knapp)
This is the story of Momo.
Have you had a friend this true?
The best around
with four paws on the ground,
who spends all of their time
with you.
We’d fetch and we’d catch,
we’d run and we’d jump.
Every day we found new
games to play.
But our favorite, you see, was hide-and-go-seek . . .
and Momo could play this all day.
From the porch
to the yard,
some spots were
quite hard!
Can you find him?
Where did he go?
