Mummy
Why does daddy
always go away?
And when he comes back
its only for a little while.
Why doesn't he stay?
Mummy
Why did daddy
get all this hate?
Why don't people log him?
I think that
he's really great.
Mommy
Why does daddy
always look so sad?
He's travelling the world.
If I were him
I'd be quite glad.
Mummy
Why is daddy
on the TV?
What are drugs?
Is he taking them?
Is daddy hurting?
Mommy
Daddy's home
Will he be here for long?
Will he tuck me in
and hold me tight
and sing me a song?
Mommy
Why is daddy
dangling up there?
Is he ok?
I don't think he's breathing
I think he kicked over that chair
I looked into my child's eyes
and didn't know what else to say
Except that daddy was a superhero
and he died trying to save the day.
