dusk arising

promise

 

\'promise me daddy,
promise you\'ll come home\'
four year old lips
speak of memories
mummys hugs and kisses
tickles and ginger bread men
softness, comfort, love
girly things daddy doesn\'t do
gone now, missed
lost into that dark shadow
where tears call out
and daddy\'s hugs
dont bring mummy back
from that shiney box
she went to heaven in
daddy says mummy wanted to
she always wanted to
to come home
to the little girl she loved
the little girl who made her smile
and filled her with joy
made her life into
a new and happy girly place
where she was very very happy
but one night
she couldn\'t come home
nice doctors were mending her
because she got broken in a car
a devil called drink
was inside a lady driving home
and the devil hurt mummy
but they couldn\'t fix her
and she can\'t come home anymore
\'i promise you,
my sweet darling baby girl
daddy always comes home
daddy will always come home\'
