Richard Petrone Jr: Missing since February 19, 2005

I'm a songwriter in Nashville. I've kept Richard and Danielle in my thoughts and prayers. A few months ago, I wrote a song inspired by this situation and others I researched after reading about this one. My hopes are that the song will raise awareness of all missing people. My wife thought I should share this song with you. If it can help you in anyway, please feel free to use it with my blessing. I play it out around the Nashville area nearly every week. It's titled, "Look a Little Closer (at the poster on the wall)."

God Bless,
Dave McDonald

Look a Little Closer

Verse I
There's a poster on the building near the last place that I saw her,
With a number I hope someone’s gonna call,
No news is ever good news when someone you love is missing,
I’d give anything to hear anything at all

They say as each day passes by that hope is getting slimmer, But I know my faith is stronger than my fear,

Chorus
So look a little closer
At that poster on the wall,
Maybe you’ve seen something,
Anything at all,
Cause it’s not another picture,
That’s someone I love,
So look a little closer,
At that poster on the wall.

Verse II
I hold a candle singing hymns here on a flower-covered sidewalk,
As a song of hope floats gently down the block,
I believe she’s out there waiting, knowing one of us will find her,
And she knows until we do I won’t give up

So I’m reaching out; I need your help to find my happy ending,
Friend all it is I’m asking you to do tonight,

Chorus
Is look a little closer
At that poster on the wall,
Maybe you’ve seen something,
Anything at all,
Cause it’s not another picture,
That’s someone I love,
So look a little closer,
At that poster on the wall

Bridge
It’s hard to know the way I feel,
Helpless,restless,time stands still,
There’s a million just like me,
Who pray all night when they can’t sleep

Chorus
So look a little closer
At those posters on the wall,
Maybe you’ve seen someone,
Somebody loves,
Maybe you could be their hero,
Who helps bring them home,
Look a little closer,
At those poster on the wall
