O Lord care for my Mummy

For she looks after me

And please look after Daddy

Wherever he may be.

 

Please help me understand, Lord

Why he went away,

Both Mum and I still love him,

Why did he not stay?

 

If you listen you’ll hear Mummy

Crying every night

How can Daddy ever think

That what he did was right.

 

I know she speaks to you, Lord

I’ve listened through the crack

Amidst her tears, I’ve heard her plead

To bring my Daddy back.

 

Grandma says he’s bad, Lord,

I hate to think that’s true

He taught me what was right and wrong,

He taught me about you.

 

Life was happy then,

Not so long ago,

Until my Daddy came to me

And said he had to go.

 

The following days were empty

The worst of my short life.

It’s terrible feeling not wanted

Even worse for Mummy, his wife.

 

Christmas is just around the corner

I don’t want a bike or toy,

Please try to bring me back my Daddy

For my Mum and a small lonely boy.

                   

Amen.
