Daddy's Faltering Love

By Far

Why is daddy mad?

I tried so hard today

To do everything he wanted

and to stay out of his way

I feel bad that daddy

From God, was given me

He wanted a child

He could be proud of

Not me as I cam clearly see

I don't understand it

Mommy says she loves me too

But when daddy hits me

She says there's nothing she can do

Other kids as school

Speak highly of their dad

I don't think he hits them

or they, too would be sad

I want my daddy to hold me

and bounce me on his knee

Instead he thinks that I am bad

This request is not to be
