My Dad, and Her Daddy

A very young lad, who just turned thirteen Began to cry and sob in his bed Wiping his tears on his sleeve Why is my dad leaving and why must he go? Was it a fault of mine My fault, I don't know His blonde hair, blue eyed, LI'L sissy Who was under age four at the time Didn't understand where her daddy was going Why he was giving her sugar, & a long hug, leaving his tears all behind Thinking that her daddy will be back home real soon After all her daddy was her world, the stars, and the moon Why did my dad have to go? Why did her daddy have to leave? Is this a nightmare that we are both dreaming? Or was this a new "harsh" reality Me and sissy came running to mama, and we slept with her that night She tried to quiet us from crying by telling us everything will be alright
