Are You My Daddy

Little child asks ~

''Are you my Daddy?''
A little child asks with large saddened eyes.

The man replies.

''Of course I do, we will never part''.

''Will you take me for a McDonald's. and to the Zoo''

''Of course!,' one day,' I promise you''. ( lie )

Gwen Benita Mason Gibbs January 20, 2014 at 5:55 PM Wow, love the poem, but the sad thing is that so many kids don't know there daddy Peter Dome January 21, 2014 at 11:39 AM So true, even more today sadly, selfish needs come first. With no good male role models what do they learn. thank you so much. take care best wishes. Pete.

Laura Breidenthal January 20, 2014 at 4:38 PM Great poem here. A very touching piece. It is not over for that child. I like that the uncle gives him/her hope. But there's still lingering, traumatized sorrow caked in that hope. Always, Laura Peter Dome January 21, 2014 at 11:43 AM Hi Laura. thank you so much for your kind words, the uncle actually lies to the child,yet another false promise, the child let down again.know how that feels. Take care. my best wishes. Pete.

Connie Marcum Wong January 19, 2014 at 2:19 AM I was that little child, but I found a Father figure who gave me guidance through life, but he passed on much too soon. A touching piece, and well written. Peter Dome January 19, 2014 at 11:08 AM I'm ever so sorry to hear your story, how sad. Sadly it happens such a lot these days. My heart goes out to you.. thank you for stopping by. my best warm wishes. Pete.

Anne-Lise Andresen January 16, 2014 at 6:08 AM - Sad to think about .... so many children who miss having a father (or mother) - An "uncle" who come and go is not good enough - A touching poem Peter. - oxox // Anne-Lise :) Peter Dome January 16, 2014 at 12:37 PM A sad fact today.. Some girls have one lover after another with no commitment, Several children unplanned at times , as a results of several Fathers.Children often suffer. And what do the kids learn from all this. Thank you so much Anne Lise. Your so right. Take care Pete.

Linda Jackson January 14, 2014 at 2:54 PM A very interesting poem. From a child's point of view it must be heartbreaking not to have a father around. The imagery is excellent.
