Where's Daddy?
Daddy didn't come home
From work that day,
So me and mommy
Kneel down to pray.
She asked God
To watch over dad
The way she said it;
It sounded sad
I looked at her face
And I saw the fear,
As on her cheek
Rolled down a tear.
I asked mommy
If she was going to be ok,
And she looked down at me
Without a word to say.
Mommy, where's daddy?
Its getting late
"Its ok baby....
He's at the gate"
So I ran outside
And there was nobody there,
"Hehe..you lied to me mommy!
Thats not fair!"
"No no baby
Thats not what i meant
The other gate baby;
Thats where he went."
I looked around
As she pointed at the sky,
I thought a While
Then i asked her why...
She brought me to my room
And She laid down my head,
As she cried out softly...
"Your daddy's dead."
