Where Is My Daddy?
Where Is My Daddy?
Where is my Daddy?
I said, "I do not know"?
This hurts her
Cutting deep into her soul
Why has my Daddy not called?
Does he not love me like he said he did…..after all?
I see her little face
The sadness in her eyes
She tries hard to disguise
The loneliness………That you have left behind
As she waits for my reply
I try to make her smile
To make her eyes bright and shinny
A kiss upon her cheek
The pain inside runs too deep
The tears she knew
Have been few
Her feelings………. she hides very well……way out of view
This must be my fault? She quietly said.
Echoing with a haunted dread……..
Is my Daddy….. perhaps dead?
I reassure her……. by a pat on her little head
Why then have I not seen his face?
Why has his presence not been at “our” place?
Does he not love me………. seek me to embrace?
Does he not want my kisses all over his face?
Has my daddy ….fell on his head?
Lying cold…… alone on a road…..possibly dead?
For I know my Daddy……
Something must be terribly wrong
For he would never……tally this long
He would already be here…singing me a song
This is a burden much too big…….. for a little girl to carry alone
She just misses her Daddy………and wants him to come back home
This she would never admit…..
To say those words… she’s afraid she would forget
So she hides her feelings deep inside
To say them out loud……would only make her cry
