Daddy
December 4, 2011
Standing in the airport,
The last place I want to be,
Because that’s my last place
With daddy before he leaves.
He gives us all big hugs and kisses
And says that he loves us,
But I’m accostomed to that,
This time his words are harder to trust.
My mother is crying now,
But my faith keeps me sane,
“Dear Lord, please keep my father safe
On those Afghanistan plains.”
