Daddy

I really don’t know where to start So I guess I’ll just say what’s in my heart I want to tell you a story About my dad that I never got to see He was kind and good and a brave man There were many like him who left to fight in another land Like others who went before Everyone prayed that they would be back at the end of the war That men would come and leave no more He never came back again He never saw my life begin Never saw my first birthday Or take me to school on my first day I grew up wondering why Why didn’t God pass my daddy by To let him come back home safe to be Home to his loving family I’ll never feel his loving touch Or hear his words telling me he loves me so much The dad I long to see is in a picture in front of me And yet I know he will always be here in my heart to comfort and guide me
