Madeleine McCann: the moving poem her parents dedicated to her

You are not here, I am not myself, yet I speak to you like this.

You’re in the crowd, the news, the look I give you there when you’re not there.

I follow your steps, I map your face, I call your name, I see you in the air.

You are all I know and so unknown.

I can’t hold you, but I do: please let me hold you in my head And where you are now, hold me too.

How can you be so close yet so far?

You are not here. But here you are.

although the McCann family ensures that it turns out very difficult to find the right words to express how they feel on this 16th anniversary of Madeleine’s passing, the truth is they ensure that this poem expresses their pain.

Moreover, publicly thanked all the support that they have received during all this time.
