Missing Dad
Mommy where’s daddy at?
He’s not here… Be Quiet.
Mommy, when is Daddy coming back?
One night of good loving and smooth touching,
Got a big something.
But like a deadbeat you choose to do nothing.
Rubbing my stomach, feet, and back
Promising this is the beginning and we’ll never get off track.
Hours of labor with you by my side
Holding my hand as I push out our surprise.
Then like night, you just disappear.
Leaving your baby and I and this is all I hear.
Mommy, where is daddy at?
Mommy, when is daddy coming back?
