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..

Please comment and tell me what you think of it

Thanks

Thank you Tiger for this wonderfully written piece. It brought tears to eyes as well. I remember being a very small child, and my dad had gone off to the Army. I remember crying for him to come home. I didn't understand much, except that he wasn't there for a very long time. Things were nothing like they are now. 9/11 put new meaning in the word terror. Thank you for your special tribute to our men and women in arms and for all they do. I wish no child ever had to lose a parent to war, or a parent lose a child, EVER!~ Blessings, Celtic

Hi Tiger

I've been gone a while and popped back every now and then
but your poem touched me so I had to stop and drop a line this time. I do know kids who go through this. So sad, so true it breaks my heart! Thank you for giving these little ones a voice.

It is a very sad and quite touching poem it is very good and it is appropriate with all the wars around, a lot of fathers have been killed and for what, wars do waste men and it hurts families.
