She hears the Ole' green pick up truck Pull into the Parking lot. She peeks her head Out from under The covers and Sees him stumble Into the apartment Door. She runs Downstairs to say Goodnight. Questions why he was Gone 3 hours and didn't Even return with The milk or bread From the store. She smells his Breath Fresh of liquor and Smoke. She notices that He's swaying Side to side. Whats wrong Daddy? Why can't You Walk? I though You quit drinking Daddy, You said you Were through. You promised me No more beer You said You loved Me o' so dear.
