Wow, this feels like me. Daddy left my mom to take care of me and my sister and two brothers but has said he loves us, but it doesn't feel like it.

Daddy, How Could This Be?

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2006 with permission of the Author.

Daddy, how could this be?
Why don't you ever come and see me?

Daddy, I love with all my heart.
Why do you have to tear it apart?

Each night I cry BIG tears,
But you wouldn't know cause you're never here

Daddy, how could this be?
Do you do not care or love me?

I talk to you on the phone,
But it's not the same without you being in my home.

Daddy, you say I'm your boy,
But all I feel like is I'm your toy.

Please Daddy, make things right
So you can be here with me tonight.
