My Daddy

My daddy went to war
To fight the bad people in iraq
Sometimes I feel like
He’ll never come back

Every morning
I watch the news on t.v.
To make sure he’s not dead
And that he’s ok

I asked him once
When he’s coming home
He said he’s not sure
But every week he’ll call me on the phone

One week he didn’t call
And I got scared
I started to get worried
What’s going on over there

Some people came to our house
was the worst day of my life
they said daddy got hurt
and didn’t survive

“ he promised he’d come home”
I couldn’t breathe
He couldn’t be gone
I started to scream

When I hear people,
Talking bad about marines
I walk up to them
and said my dad died defending our country

my daddy was a marine
I love him with all my heart
and I’m very proud of him
but knowing he’d never come home

…tares me apart….
