Daddy
Where are you tonight
I would like a bedtime story
Also a kiss goodnight
Mummy said you've gone far away
To live another life
But you must be home soon
We haven't said goodbye
Daddy
Its getting late now
Don't be long
Tears are falling out of Mummy's eyes
She's singing your song
She's been crying for weeks
Ever since you've been gone
Please come home
Help her stop
Daddy
Im scared
Why aren't you here
To chase the monsters from my bed
To cuddle away my fears
Be here tomorrow
When I wake up
So we can play games
Have lots of fun
We can walk to the river
To our favourite spot
To play eyespy and feed the ducks
Daddy
Come home
Where you belong
Tell me you love me in every word
Mummy says you can't
You've flown above
Up to heaven
But you watch us with love
Daddy
I miss you
When will I next see you
Forever seems so long
Mummy says time will go quicker
If I sing your song

This. This is highly astounding. I am absolutely voiceless. Wonderful
Thank you so much
Nice job Shannon. The "Daddy" anaphora with liberal doses of "Mummy" and "I" firmly ground your family poem alongside God's greatest masterpiece: the traditional human family.
Thank you
Very sad but strong write.
Thank you 🙂
a words of a missing hearts..nicely written
Thank you
The path your words made lead me to a fork, I thought he walked out, but as I reached the paths end, I realized I took the wrong turn at the fork, but it all left me realizing how horrible merely leaving your family behind would be, it would be as if you had died, of course, if it wasn't death the emotion of the remainder could be anger as well. Thank you for sharing this poem, it was well worth the read!
