WHY DADDY

 

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 ?
