You can see it in his eyes,
The despair he hides with humour,
Behind the bright-eyed smile;
A child, waiting every night,
For his daddy to come home.
He needs someone to hold him,
And tell him it's all okay,
He wont let anyone know,
Where his father is,
He doesnt know exactly,
He doesnt know why.
Where he is,
Why he's there,
What he did,
When He'll be back.
He needs reassurance,
He needs soemone to love him.
He needs his dad.

This is about my friend...
There is only one person besides me who knows about his problems.
SO I cant say his name.

It's really sweet that you're someone that your friend can confide in about these problems. I've had my own share of problems in my life, but I didn't always have a friend to talk to about them. Now, about your entry, it's really touching and it flows really well. The final stanza puts everything into place and ends the piece in a soft manner. I really like it and I hope you keep writing because you've got an awesome talent. Good luck in the contest.
