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
