"Ellie"

 

 

Bobby had a little girl, she was about the age of three,

a brown hair, blue eyed wonder that they named "Ellie"

Bobbys life's was taken that day by a bad man with a gun,

and stole the heart of his mother ...it was her only son.

.

The little girl misses her daddy that went away today,

never again to ~Come home~ or see her first school play.

He went out the front door saying "Watch Ellie please"

while rifling through his pockets looking for his keys.

.

Such a sad day for them, for bobby never made it home,

and just how was he to know that in heaven he would roam.

No way now for this dad to see a daughter become a bride,

or a mother that can't hold her tears that won't subside.

.

 Bobby looked for his wife that night taking a firm stance, 

found her with a so called friend, bobby never had a chance.

He's shot in the back & chest, what a ultimate price to pay,

while the boy claimed self defense, turned and walked away.

 

 This is in memorie of;

Robert Flynn

Author notes

Lost at the end of the poem (Option #3)

 

Bobby was a really good kid that lost his life to a guy

 that was just playing big shot and fooling with his girl.

Now there is a little girl that no longer has a daddy.

    It had an effect on me.

    I can't imagine how you feel about this. It seems very sad. I started to cry. You are a wonderful poet.
