Don't own anyone that you recognize
Just something random I came up with… Yes, it does mention that its Christmas eve but that just the date I came up with…
My name is Lorene Heather Caine; you can call me Lori,
I am here for one simply reason and that's to tell you my story.
It's Christmas Eve and your not here like you should be,
But that's okay you've never been here for me.
I understand why, for momma and Ray explain.
I understand that momma is in just as much pain.
Ray and Madison tell me a lot about you,
For, when you left when I was not but two.
You, I, Ray, and Momma sat in the front room,
And none of us knew of the soon to be doom.
It was quiet Christmas Eve night,
But shots would ring out before dawns early light.
By the time morning would arrive,
One member of the family would not survive.
So, exactly seven years from then, that makes me nine,
I sit in my room telling Momma and Ray I am fine.
The simple fact you weren't here to teach me to ride a bike or swim,
Despite all the I say, it just slightly worries them.
I just thought you should know that I have your eyes.
Your easy blue eyes that mamma says will one day tease all the guys.
I look mostly like momma, both of us having curly hair and dark skin.
She tells me constantly the great daddy you could have been.
But to me, you are a great daddy even if you aren't here.
That's all I really have to say, until I write again next year.
Tell me whatcha think… Kinda random I know. I was takin' a shower (Or was it when I was eating my pizza?) and I thought it up…
