A Poem by Jenni Bailey
"

Missing my Airforce Daddy!

"
"Daddy needs to go"
Someone says "He will be back"
The baby girl doesn't know

In uniform and all
Daddy goes to the door
This baby girl is by the door, sitting against the wall

Daddy couldn't turn away from his daughter
Waving through the door
This baby girl was fighting to see her father

This time, Daddy had to drive away
The truck was gone now
This baby girl is wondering "when is Daddy coming home today"

It's 6:00pm, Daddy is home
It was a busy day for Daddy
This baby girl doesn't have to go to bed alone

Daddy was still in uniform, still had to go, he still drove away, and he still came home today
It was a busy day for Daddy
This girl needed to go, left dad sitting against the wall, and fighting to see his daughter, and she turned away

This girl knows Dad is home
She isn't by the door, she fighting
She's wondering "why is Daddy home?"

She lays her head on the pillow
It's 6:00am, backpack and all
This girl needed to see Dad at the window
