Daddy Please Come Home Poem by Isabella Afanasieff

Since I was small
You were never there
Growing up
I thought you didn’t care
You always came
To tuck me in at night
But where were you
When I couldn’t fight?
I always thought
You would come back for me
But then you went far away
Now I can barely see
I never thought I’d say this
After all the tears I’ve cried
But ever since you went away
Daddy a piece of my soul has died
You made me think
You didn’t care
But why in my time of need
You were never there
Daddy, Please come home!
