Hello daddy!
This morning you didnt wake up from your bed.
I shook you, and called your name,
But not one word you said.

So I called mommy!
Who came right away.
She called an ambulance and went to the hospital with you daddy,
But told me I had to stay.

So I sat there in my daycare,
Wondering if you were alright,
Wondering if you would be back in time,
To give me a kiss goodnight.

I sat there and waited,
For you to come through the door,
To tell me that,
Your pain was no more.

I know you have always had pain daddy,
I see you take all your pills.
Every day, more and more,
They can add up to be bigger than hills!

I couldnt wait for you to get home daddy,
So I could be with you.
Because when I grow up,
I want to be just like you.

When you get back,
Lets play a game!
Like base ball or jump rope,
Because beating you is my middle name!

I found a wisher at my day care!
You know, the fuzzy things that you blow,
But this time I didnt wish for a pony,
Or a dream boat to row.

My wish was to god,
And I told him all about you.
And how you were feeling sick,
And how I didnt know what to do.

I asked him to make you all better,
So we could play together really soon!
So we could play and laugh,
And at night we could pretend were on the moon!

I miss you daddy,
I feel like I might cry.
You havn't been home in a little while,
and everyone says your going to die.

But i don't belive them!
god will make you all better.
and when he does,
We will be together.

I cant wait till you get home daddy!
I hope god makes my wish come true.
I hope you come home soon daddy,
I love you!


Note: 2 days later the little girls father died of illness and disease. I feel gravely sad for his 7 year old daughter who really did belive her father was coming home that night.
