When Daddy's Gone

By Del

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What can you say to a childWho misses his daddy so?My darling, your daddy's in heaven.Mommy, why did he have to go?You say, an angel called him.He's now in that wonderful place up above.He's right besides us every day, dear,Giving us all his love.I don't want him up in that place.I want my daddy here with me.How can he walk here besides me,When his face I never see?You try so hard to hold back tears,While consoling your little son.With your heart so heavy and sodden,It simply can't be done.You put your arms around himAnd hold him so close to you.My sweet little one, we must be brave,That's all that we can do.How can these terrorists live with themselves,After the dispicable carnage they inflicted?What should we do to punish them all,Once they are convicted?This terrible sadness will slowly fade,As the years go by so fast.We know our lives will just go on,But the memories will forever last.
