Mommy where's Daddy?
Why did he go?
Why do you cry Mommy?
What was that car with all the flowers on the back of it?
Mommy why was everyone all dressed in black?
Who were all those people who came to the house?
They kissed you on the cheek and said they were sorry
Why are they sorry Mommy?
Mommy why do we go that place every week?
That has a fence all around it and big rocks in the ground
What is that place Mommy?
You always leave flowers there
You always cry when we go there
What is that place Mommy?
Mommy where's Daddy?
