Why did you stop being Daddy
What took you away
I remember for four good years
As Daddy you would play
Sometimes you'd read me stories
And tuck me into bed
You'd tell me that you loved me
And kiss my sweet forehead
I haven't asked my Mommy
But I wonder in my mind
If maybe when you're not busy
And some spare time you can find
Can't you just come see me
Can't we just pretend
Won't you just come over
And be Daddy again
Author notes
This is for Steven, my five year old son. He doesn't talk much about his dad, but when he does, I see the tears in his eyes. I'm not a big fan of rhyme, but this just came together in my head early this morning while I watched him sleeping. He is my angel.

That was beautifully written. First of all, the world would be such a better place if "adults" realized how children feel. Some do not and that is so sad for the ones that end up with the broken heart. Hug him every chance you get to reassure him that he has you.
Hugs,

Heart breaking, but the love you show for your son is beautiful. It's always hard not having one of your parents, but someday he will see just how lucky he is to have such a loving mother.

lovely
This is really lovely. Someday, your little boy will realize that none of this is his fault, some people just aren't meant to have and raise children. Just be open and honest with him, and love him. Good luck, I was in your son's shoes for years. -
Thanx for your comments and applause. My son means the world to me, and I wish that this was something that I could make better for him, but all I can do is love him, and give him the kind of life he deserves. He really is something. He brings the light into my world. So thank you once again for your sweet comments.

Awwwwwwww, this is beautiful. Sad, but beautiful! Lovely job of capturing the moment, but also a pity that your son has to feel this way. It sure is lucky for him that he's got such an amazing, loving and caring mother!
