The little girl watched her mom and dad fight every day and night
She was only three years old but she felt so lost in the world
Daddy left never to be seen again
Yet she prays that one-day he will come back
He will come back to hold his little girl
she sheds a tear every night
Holding her teddy bear so tight
Praying daddy will do what’s right
But he never comes …
She knows daddy’s name
She has a picture of him in her little flower picture frame
Even though daddy’s not there
She’s not ashamed
She still loves him …
The little girl is six years old now
Going to school like all the other little kids
But she feels left out when she hears,
“Me and daddy did this”
Still wanting him to come home
Momma is left all alone …
the little girl is staring out her window every night
Wishing that daddy want to be in her life
She never gives up
Still waiting for this guy she may never know …
