Absence
A lot has happened since you left,
Becky will never be the same.
Can you blame her?
Daddy isn't with her anymore.
All of her life, she will never have a father.
Benevolent, you are indeed.
Crying with her in my arms,
Dead you are to me.
Alas, I waste no tears on you,
But for my life I weep.
Caring for her alone,
Door closed behind me.
Another thing to worry about,
Besides how you left.
Can we survive the winter?
Discouraged by the storm.
