“Daddy needs to go”

Someone says “He will be back”

The baby girl doesn’t know
In uniform and all

Daddy goes to the door

This baby girl is by the door, sitting against the wall
Daddy couldn’t turn away from his daughter

Waving through the door

This baby girl was fighting to see her father
This time, Daddy had to drive away

The truck was gone now

This baby girl is wondering “when is Daddy coming home today”
It’s 6:00pm, Daddy is home

It was a busy day for Daddy

This baby girl doesn’t have to go to bed alone, Daddy was still in uniform, still had to go, he still drove away, and he still came home today

It was a busy day for Daddy

This girl needed to go, left dad sitting against the wall, and fighting to see his daughter, and she turned away
This girl knows Dad is home

She isn’t by the door, she fighting

She’s wondering “why is Daddy home?”
She lays her head on the pillow

It’s 6:00am, backpack and all

This girl needed to see Dad at the window
