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."
