Daddy Come Home |
 |
|
My birthday is coming up soon,
We're having a party about noon.
Daddy can't you come home,
I don't want to party all alone.
We just celebrated Veteran's Day,
I did the best I could to pray.
Thanksgiving is coming soon,
We're having dinner about noon.
Daddy can't you come home,
I don't want to eat all alone.
I will say a very special grace,
And pray that I will soon see your face.
Christmas is coming soon,
We're opening presents way before noon.
Daddy can't you come home,
I don't want to see my presents alone.
I will say special words about baby Jesus,
And pray that you see him too with us.
And now a year has come and gone,
Daddy you've been away much too long.
Daddy cant' you please come home,
I'm growing up, but I don't want to do it alone.
I will say my prayers at bedtime tonight,
And pray and pray that you are safe and all right.
And now a stranger stands at our door,
I don't know why he is there for sure.
I heard him say it is with deep regret.
Mommy is frowning, her brow in a fret.
She drops to her knees and begins to cry,
I look at the stranger and I don't know why.
His uniform is like Daddy's, I wish it was he,
But your Daddy's not coming home you see.
He is safe in heaven with Jesus above,
But he sends you his undying love.
Daddy has gone home! |
