daddy I came to tell you I miss you
I know I could not stop you from going
you went to give me a good life
but a good life is with you here
I was two when you left
you came back when I three
You died when I was five
why did that man shoot you
why
I am 10 now and I still don't know why
Thank you for fighting for our country
