Daddy

Daddy.

You’re my best friend,

always there for me.

With you,

I always get my way.

The war took you

away from me.

My hero, lost.

I dream about you

coming home to me.

Mom isn’t doing

very well without you.

Her smile is strained,

trying for brother and me.

You were our rock,

our hero and comfort.

Your dad jokes will never be topped.

I miss you daddy.

I wish you could come home to us.

To me.
