Waiting For Daddy

A very touching poem. I'm sure your neice did take your hand. I have an opposite story. My neice was nine when she heard gunshots outside her house. She told my sister (who was deaf) and my sister didn't believe her. The police knocked on the door and told them my sister's husband and my neice's father had just been murdered. My sister died of an overdose a year later.

I am an aunt of 13 until this August. I am an artist and I painted just a small something for this new little one that is coming into my life. Taped to the back will be four letters to be opened on milestone birthdays 6, 13, 16, and 18. One of the envelopes I was looking for poems to write on the outside and stumbled across this. I am not going to write it on one of her letters but I thought that I would tell you that in reading this poem I started crying because of how well the rhythm flowed and how deep the message was. This poem is so beautiful. I am so happy I came across it. =]

What a tragic thing to happen and what a beautiful gift to give to a father. I have a niece and I don't know what I would do without her. Please God, may I never see that day.

This story is SO beautiful. It touched my heart. I love poetry and write some of my own. I live far away from my only niece and talk to them daily on Facebook. But yea I wouldn't know what I'd do in a situation like that. That poem is beautiful.

The poem is very nice. I lost my father 16 years back. Even though he is always been in my heart & mind, the reading of this poem has refreshed my memories and enliven my love for him. I feel even more attached to him.

Oh my goodness. What a terrible thing to happen...Broke my heart reading this for 2 reasons....First why you wrote this poem and second we just lost our beautiful granddaughter Kaitlyn who just turned 7....:o( grandma's heart is so broken. I had her lots and she was a grandma girl and so close to her daddy (my son), this brings tears to your eyes...She has only been gone 3 months on mother's day and I don't think grandma's heart or my sons will ever heal. He can't even say her name yet...We are in so much pain...Thanks for sharing this, do you mind if I change the words a little and save this for my son. Someday I would love to share this with him...Please and thanks
If not that is okay too...So happy I read this and signed up for the poems. Can't wait to read more. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gift...Light and love Ally ♥♥♥

Sure you can use my poem, and I hope it brings comfort to you and your family. I'm sorry for your loss as a grandmother of a 7 year old I can't imagine your pain, God be with you and peace beyond understanding follow you! Barb Bailey

I'm sorry to hear about your sister and niece, I too can feel your heartache, only I lost my 7 year old niece (my sisters baby girl) on December 21,2011 we buried her on Christmas Eve. She was outside playing and was hit and killed by a car. It made me realize I want my other nieces and nephews to know everyday, in everyway, we love them and they are our world, because like that day, we may never get the chance.

I was crying reading this. I think these words are perfect!! and I believe your niece definitely influenced this poem. This poem touches me in a special way as well. I lost my Big brother, my nephew (5), and my niece (2) and it helps me as well. I'm so sorry for your terrible tragedy, and I know there will be a wonderful day when I meet Jesus and get to be with my family again!! <3<3<3
