Poem Title:
Poem
She is just a baby To young to understand Her little bowed legs Her longing out stretched hand The world revolves around her As far as she can see She can't yet comprehend Why mommy and daddy disagree She's walks and talks She listens and she learns She now has a vague idea For what daddy always yearns Mommy yells at daddy Daddy yells at mom So very little changes It just goes on and on A little older now She hates the arguments She lives and loves the both of us To her it makes no sense Why mommy loves her daddy And daddy lovers her mom Yet they fight with such bitterness And seem to mean such harm Then they hug, kiss and love Things so much improve And life is so much happier Her hurts and fears are soothed She sees the danger coming She has seen it all before Quietly inside herself She's prepares for a war The house explodes in violence The accusations fly The chaos just goes on and on As bitter years go by Daddy's gone the fighting stop But life is none the better She's always wanting her daddy In her hand she holds his letter The letter's from her daddy She reads it with a tear Her daddy he's so far away She wishes he was near As he writes with anger She can almost see The evil men in her daddy's world What terror that must be Her daddy writes the loving words She wants to hear him say She reads of all his promises He says he'll prove to her one day She Just wants her daddy home She doesn't even care Things could be just as they were If only her daddy were there I know that it will take some time I know there will be pain But for rainbows and for sunshine First there must be rain There always will be storms Life is just that way But when this storm is over Maybe her daddy will come back to stay Here I make my promise To my first baby girl The life you've always wanted Ill bring you in this world I know that when your dad comes home he will show you what he means All the happiness you deserve Is coming in your teens Just wait a little longer God protects us all One day we will recover From this, our biggest fall
