Daddy Comes Home
Daddy came home after six months,
Left after two weeks
It was hard.
I remember him coming home
It was a surprise
Mommy took up to Laura's house,
Her husband was with Daddy.
Mommy said we had to pick up a special package.
Pulled up the road
Saw lots of cars
Saw lots of people,
Lots of people in uniform.
Then I saw him.
Mommy barely parked the car
Unbuckled my sister
Ran out of the truck
Called his name
Crying I hugged him
Daddy was home.
Mommy and Sister come
Everybody crying
Everybody hugging
Never let go od Daddy's hand
Never leave Daddy's side.
