Daddy's Day

Its daddy’s day 
I went to work
At my fathers every turn
Hanging on to every word

Until I saw the birdie
It was huge 
Coming ever closer
Sneaking up on me

I turned to see 
But it was gone
My daddy told me
It was time to go

We ran down the steps 
I was on his shoulders
It was a bumpy ride
Everyone was running around me

I asked why?
He said it was the birdie
I turned around but I couldn’t see
But there were to many people around me
  
We were heading to the bottom
Everyone was following me 
They pushed and shoved
Until I fell from my daddy’s arms 

I called and called “Daddy”
Everyone stepped on me still
I sat on the ground and cried out
Still my daddy didn’t come 

Then the birdie came
He crashed into my daddy’s office
And sent the floor crashing down
On to me and everyone else still inside

I woke up in a place of beauty
And found the angels looking at me
They told me of everything
There was to know

I was in gods grace now 
And he loved me 
They tell me it won’t be long
Til daddy comes to get me
