![]() One Little GirlA Poem by A.Broken.Beauty![]() poem about a little girl and her father being overseas because he's in the arm![]() There's this one little girl She's as little as can be But yet does she know There's this man she won't see.
There's this one little girl She's grown quite a bit But still doesn't know Any damn part of it.
There's this one little girl She's gained a few years She starts to catch on But only at night she sheds the tears.
There's this one little girl She writes letters that she's signed "Daddy I hope that you are safe" And when no replies she lies and says he's fine.
There's this one little girl That will see him her first time During the short leave that he gets Here grateful mama says it's still fine.
There's this one little girl Who brightens up at the sight Where she waits by her mama's side When they let out a joyful cry.
There's this one little girl Who's daddy holds her up high Where she clings to his army greens Getting loads of smiles from people they pass by.
There's this one little girl Who's daddy listens to her mama and her While catching up on her childhood on the car ride home But he feels for him it went by in an unfortunate blur.
There's this one little girl Who's unhappy but's being brave When she and her mama say goodbye As she chokes back tears and just waves.
There's this little girl But only little in the eyes who's been away for so long But now she's entering high school Where she proves his actions are heroic, scary, but not wrong.
So now there's this grown up girl But when The Day comes and she opens the door To find family, tears, and dreadful news She sinks to little when she melts to the floor.
So there's this little grown up girl Who cries at her mama's side where she leans She hears trumpets; sees uniformed men, little flags, and a flag covered box And she cries and cries still clinging to his army greens. © 2012 A.Broken.BeautyAuthor's Note
