Unnamed

He was gone before my sun was shinning



He thought it would be best



To avoid all the hurting and the crying



To put my heart at rest






He'll drive himself to work this day



Knowing he might not come back



He tells us "In bed you should stay"



We wake up, its our Dad we lack






He has been gone from us before



It was not so long ago



We keep watching for him at our door



When he'll come back, we dont know






Mommy says he is helping the needy



I just think I need my daddy too



I try not to be so greedy



But what else is a child to do??






Im told its only a year



12 months or 365 days



Its not exactly what I want to hear



I wish I had a Daddy that stays






I'll ask him every time we talk



"are you coming home yet?"



I know this hurt I can not block



His time away Ill regret






He is an American soldier



But he is my Daddy too



When he gets home Ill be so much older



We'll have alot of catching up to do.
