Daddy why must you go? Was it something I did Should I have done it before? Mommy says that my Daddy is back now But isn't that you? He wasn't here when I was sick, Daddy, Why can't I be with you? But my sister gets to go with you sometimes Daddy, please take me When I was sick and I called He never came, it was always you Daddy says that he is my Daddy Why not you? Is it because I didn't clean my room Or because I ran in the house? Yes, I know I would visit him In the summer if he felt the need But, Daddy, I didn't need to visit you You were always here and you never left me Mommy says I can't call anymore What did I do, Daddy? OK, I'll hang up now Mommy says I have to go I think I'm in trouble Daddy tells me he loves me But Daddy, I love you. Sorry for the downer guys, but I was already here and had to put this down.

Hi Bradly So often it is the children who suffer and feel they are to blame in these situations. Your words were very moving. Take care.....Sue I am in motion |

Very, very sad poem, yet written so well.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |
