Where Is Daddy

 The little girl had said her prayers
        Her Mother tucked her into bed
       "When is my Daddy coming home ?"
        This is what her Mummy said

       "Daddy can't come home right now
        He still has things to do
        He is taking care of Angels
        Just like he takes care of you "

       "And will Daddy read them stories ?"
        The little girl enquired
        "Yes he will, like he does for you,
         Now go to sleep you're tired "

        The little girl closed her eyes
        And squeezed her Teddy tight
        And looking down from Heaven
        Her Daddy said " Good night "
