He Promised
Have you seen my Daddy?
I don't know where he's gone
He said he would come back,
He told me so
I hear he doesn't look quite the same
He doesn't need much rest
The IV and medications are all gone
In fact, he looks his best
Is he playing tag with his friends?
In that place outside?
Or is he napping in his lab again?
Where we usually spend time in?
says he is always watching
I hope this to be true
And that one day he'll return to me
And say, "I've come for you, Archimedes"
Have you seen my Daddy?
I imagine he's doing okay
Though it hurts to know
I can't call or see him every day.
I really miss my Daddy
I wasn't ready to say goodbye
It will never be the same
Days from now, I know I'll find him
I bet Scout is with my Daddy
Wrapped up in His stories
Keeping him from working
I bet Daddy thinks I'm mourning
But would want me to smile
And tell me our time apart
Is only a little while
I'll never quite understand
Why your time here was so small
But you said you'll always come back
To catch me looking out the window
I miss you so much Daddy
But I hope and pray
That you will come back for me
Like you always promise
