Poem Of Love From Divorced Dad To His Children

Published by Family Friend Poems February 2011 with permission of the Author.

I used to watch you run and play,
those were our best times together.

especially trips to the playground.

But Daddy knows that someday
we will be together once more.

Because there's nothing stronger than a father's love
missing his baby girl.
