Goodbye daddy
She says the little one
Smiling but her eyes
Full of tears
Waiting to be released
Full of sadness
I look into them
Lost with choking voice
Goodbyes are unnecessary
Darling for I will be
Shortly back, her eyes are
Questioning my words
Goodbyes of uncertainty they are than
Goodbyes of leaving, daddy. My heart
Sinks!
