Poem
My Daddy’s coming home, he promised Mom and me He told us not to worry; he was safe as he could be He’ll wear his vest and helmet and stay out of the crowd My Daddy’s in the Army and he serves his country proud It’s just another tour he said like the ones before My Daddy’s coming home some day but today he is at war We didn’t hear from Daddy, though he said he’d call each day My Mommy said don’t worry but let’s kneel down and pray We thank God for our Daddy and to keep him safe and warm Like he did the last time and back in Desert Storm We tell God that we love him and that all we’re praying for Is Daddy coming someday but today he is at war We haven’t heard from Daddy; it seems for quite a while We still kneel down and pray for him but Mommy’s lost her smile Friends keep coming over and they pray with her too My Mommy looks so tired and sad; I don’t know what to do Today my Mom was crying when she hung up the phone She said that was the Army and their sending Daddy home I said let’s pray for Daddy and knelt down by her side She didn’t help me with the words; she just knelt down and cried I knew something had happened but I was scared to ask I asked God to take over; he handles all those tasks Then I got this funny feeling, my Daddy’s not alone He’s with some fallen soldiers and God’s bringing them back home My Daddy’s going home today like he promised Mom and me Home to be with Jesus for all eternity With Memorial Day coming up, I thought I would share this with all of you.
