I wish my daddy wouldn’t go away,
So often it just breaks my mommy’s heart.
But Daddy has a life — and cannot stay
Forever and it tears my world apart.
He doesn’t see my tears when he is gone,
Asleep, or busy with his family.
I thought before I was the only one
To bring him love and peace so easily.
I don’t care if my sonnet sounds all wrong,
I’m just a little boy who misses him.
And mommy’s just a girl who’s pretty song
Will never reach his heart that way again
Each night I watch my mommy kneel and pray,
I wipe her tears and wish for him to stay
