Daddy's Poem
Her hair was up in a pony tail,
Her favorite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
And she couldn't wait to go.
But her mommy tried to tell her,
That she probably should stay home.
The Other kids won't understand,
If she went to school alone.
But she was not afraid;
She knew just what to say.
What to tell her classmates
Why he wasn't there today.
But still her mother worried,
For her to face this day alone.
And that was why, once again,
She tried to keep her home.
But the little girl went to school,
Eager to tell them all.
About a dad she never sees;
A dad who never calls.
There were daddies along the wall in back,

"My Daddy couldn't be here,
Cuz he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could be,
Since it's such a special day.
And though you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know.
All about my daddy,
And how much he loves me so.
He loved to tell me stories
He taught me to ride my bike.
He surprised me with pink roses,
And taught me to fly a kite.
We used to share fudge sundaes,
And ice cream in a cone.
And though you cannot see him,
I'm not standing here alone.
Cuz my daddy's always with me,
Even though we are apart.

He'll forever stay in my heart,"
With that, her little hand reached up,
