"Mommy? Where did daddy go?"
She just turned and looked at me,
She smiled but it wasn't real,
"Honey, he's just busy."
So I waited by the window,
To watch for my daddy's car,
"Mommy, why isn't he home yet?"
"It's okay...he's not too far."
That night I stood by her bed,
"Mommy, daddy's not there!"
"Its okay baby girl," she whispered,
"He's asleep in a different bed somewhere."
"Mommy...does dad still love us?"
A tear came to her eye,
"Of course he loves you, baby."
She didn't want me to see her cry.
Sometime a week later,
My daddy finally came back,
By now my mommy looked so tired,
The circles under her eyes were black.
That night I heard them arguing,
"So where have you been??"
My dad's voice was quieter,
I couldn't quite hear them then.
When I woke up he was gone,
My mom hugged me tight.
I petted her hair and kissed her cheek,
"Mommy...its going to be alright."
"Baby...your daddy loves you,"
"I know mommy...its okay."
Deep down inside my little heart,
I knew my daddy had gone away.
"Your daddy has a new friend,"
My mommy's voice began to crack.
"And baby, he really likes her a lot,
Your daddy won't be coming back."
My mommy and I sat together,
We curled up into a little ball,
She had tears streaming down her face,
But I didn't cry at all...................
"Mommy?" I touched her shoulder,
"You and me will always be together,
And no matter what anyone does...
I'm gonna love you mommy. Forever."
i wrote this poem on a lil switch to the other poems where the mom always dies so be careful pay attention your heart might cry
