Looking for "I"

Missing letter

Cleaning out my son’s room
There on the bottom
Is the alphabet board.
It is missing an I.
The cleaning continues
Now in search
Of that I.
So many letters to miss
In the room
Of a 29 year old son.
Actually I am proud
It is only one letter.
We wait to see
Whether it will appear
Before we are done
Or whether Goodwill
Will have to sell
An alphabet board
With no I,
Whether some child
Somewhere
Will be unable
To spell
Isthmus
Individual
Or idiom.
We will see
If that I
Emerges.
