Daddy


A mothers eyes

Broke with pain

As she tries

To explain

That no

That's not daddies plane

And no

That's not daddies train

She gives her child a kiss

Tells him

Close your eyes, and make a wish

Because it's your birthday my prince

She knows that he wants daddy there

He doesn't think that daddy cares

She closes her eyes

It's not fair

A knock on the door

An envelope being held in the air

By a man

Looking sad

He looks at the little one

It's about his dad

Her heart turns into a concrete pad

Three words

I'm sorry ma'm

She holds everything together

Her heads feels like a feather

He always said he'd come back

Through good or bad whether

But they took him from her

Forever

Sometimes she smells his cologne

Just to feel like she's not alone

But then there's the little boy

Keeps her heart from being all stone

But she still hasn't told him yet

That no

Daddies not coming home
