Daddy Come Home...Please Dont Fight

Daddy come home, theres no need to fight
Please read me my story, and turn off my light
I dont like it this way, and need help with my toys
I want you to come home, and make friends with them boys

I made you a picture, and my hair is getting longer
Mummy keeps crying, sadness keeps getting stronger
My new shoes come today, im all ready for school
I wish you could take me, but I know there your rules

Daddy come home please, daddy come home
I cry when you leave me, here all alone
I see all the news, and think about you
Dont know what we'll do, if they take you to

Daddy I love you, daddy please come back home
I dont want you fighting, in this nasty war zone
I woke in the night again, touching your band
Daddy come home please, and dont let go of my hand

About this poem:

I saw a story about soldiers with family and thought of doing a poem for them, how hard it must be.........kind of makes me feel both luck and proud.

Feel sorry for the children wanting there family back..

thankyou for this poem, I have read it a few times and thought about it before I commented. I am ex army and can tell you there is a lot of truth in what you have written. In my opinion you have written very well about what is a very difficult and emotive subject.....thankyou once again and keep writing........kindest regards Andrew.

Hi Tiger Dan
I found your absolute gem of a poem..
This is so close to my heart..
On Christmas day when I celebrate with my Family..I'll light a candle and give thanks..

For the brave who will never return..who gave their life so we can live in freedom..
For all those who are still there fighting..I pray for their safe return to those they love..Homes sweet embrace.

Thankyou you Tiger dan..

Tiger_DanOPwarrington, Merseyside, England UKDec 24, 2011
