You'll See, Daddy..

You'll See, Daddy..

A Poem by QuietPoet

You’ll See, Daddy..

I sat and stared at my dad today

From a distance

We were in the store

Everything else disappeared

And I just focused on him

He was on the phone

And he was looking at the cat food

He couldn’t decide which to get

Looking at the prices

Tears kind of formed my eyes

What he said to me when he got home

Kept echoing in my ears

“I’m so broke, I don’t know how

I’m going to buy groceries”

I just sighed and let him vent

When all I wanted to do was

Run over to you and give you a hug

And tell you its all going to be ok

You’ll see, Daddy..

I hate sitting back and watching

Them struggle and can’t do a thing

Because we’re all in the same hole

It breaks my heart seeing my family this way

But deep down in this heart of mine

I believe things will get better

Just believe me when I say

You’ll see, Daddy..

You are richest beyond any measure this earth has to offer... love, family, and love within, for, and of family. We all are feeling the strains. This touched me deeply. Very deeply... O U T S T A N D I N G.
