Military Daughter Poem by katie norton

military daughter
solider as her daddy
a proud smile on her face as he stepped on that plane
she was young
how was she to know
her daddys life would end in pain

but today she writes
my daddy is strong
and my daddy is brave
my daddy fought for my life
that one special day
he’ll come
he’ll be okay
all I can do is pray

her daddy was shot
late one day
on the day of her sixteenth birthday
but all she could do
was smile
with a tear in her eye as she read

my daddy is strong
my daddy is brave
my daddy fought for my life
that one special day
he came home
he’ll be allright
so god please keep him
for me
in that big cloud in the sky

because he is good
and he is brave
he is a daddy
to me
everyday
so keep him there
keep him safe
cause all I can do Is say
I’ll fight for you now daddy
everyday
