WHY DADDY
By: Norma V.
Daddy, I know you left Mommy
but
Why did you not want me?
I was only 15 months old,
knowing not how could it be?
On my Birthday Daddy,
a present from you
I did not care.
I only wanted to hear your voice
and know
you were somewhere.
To only say Happy Birthday
to my little girl so sweet ,
It would have been a treasure
my heart would always keep .
WHY DADDY ?
Daddy,
then I thought when Santa came ,
You would send me a present
marked to me with your name .
I was a
blonde, blue eyed little girl
Mommy said so cute and full of fun .
Then in a beauty pageant
a blue ribbon I had won .
A proud Daddy you could have been
If
You had only seen me then .
WHY DADDY ?
Then came my school years
with cruelty how I was teased .
Why don't you have a Daddy ?
All the kids would say .
To come to school
and watch you on your special day .
Oh how that would hurt
as I came home to sit and cry ...
And wonder and wonder
WHY DADDY ?
Mommy and Grandpa
did
their best in raising me .
Grandpa taught me many things
of how my life should be .
He taught me to love one another
that was his words and way of life .
Always to forgive no matter the strife .
WHY DADDY ?
Daddy you should have seen me
On my Wedding Day .
Grandpa could not walk me down the isle
Because God was calling him away .
So I was married there near his bedside
I was so happy, yet my heart cried
Where was my Daddy ?
WHY DADDY?
Now Daddy you are in Heaven
and
I believe you would love to know .
I have
two Daughters,
one Son
and
five Grandchildren,
My how they grow ....
If you were still here
would you turn your back
on them too ?
As you did Mommy and me?
We all could have loved you .
WHY DADDY ?
I came to see you Daddy
when God called you home.
I placed a flower in your cold hand
knowing
God would tell you ...
" This was your little girl you left alone "
Yes
you could have been proud of me
and
the things Grandpa taught .
For now
I have a happy and successful life
Things that cannot be bought .
WHY DADDY?
I have love in my heart for all I know
And
I feel their love for me in all they show.
As in my love for everyone I give .
It is always returned each day I live .
So Daddy ,
the things
Grandpa taught me were true .
While all that time
it
should have been you ...
WHY DADDY?
There is only one thing
now left to blame .
I would have
loved to ask you face to face .
Daddy,
did you ever remember my name?
I hope to find the answer ,
some day since you are gone.
So no other little child
will ever be left alone asking
WHY DADDY ?
