A Phone Call

As my daddy tucks me in He reads my favorite book to me, I feel so lucky to have him For i'm daddys girl you see. Thinking he'd be here forever He received a phone call today, A man told him he was sorry But my daddy has to go away. I ran to him hugging so tight Gave him a big kiss goobye, He told us not to worry about him But all mommy and i could do was cry. As we watched the news Mommy told me about the war, I feared for my daddys safty Hugging me, we cried once more. Late on night mommy got a call I prayed please dont let this be, It was daddy on the other end Waiting at the airport for mommy and me.
