#55 Daddy's Little Girl

My biological father ran out on my mother before I was born. When I was given an assignment to write a poem about a dream my yearning for a father came out on a piece of paper.

Daddy's Little Girl

by Amanda

Once upon a time
Far far away
Once upon a time in a dream
Once upon a time I was Daddy's little girl
Once upon a time that was me

In my dream I was Daddy's little girl
In my dream he loved me
In my dream we did things together
Like ran races
Jumped rope
I can still feel the cold metal chains of the swing in my hands
But that's not real
Nope
It was once upon a time that
Once upon a dream
Far far away
That was me

In my dreams I was Daddy's little girl
In my dream he loved me
He took me places
Like ice cream shoppes and baseball games
I can still hear the crack of the bat
He took me places like roller skating and Broadway plays
What do you think of that?
But it's not real
It's once upon a time
Once upon a dream
Far far away that was me

Katrina

I loved this poem, it describes the way I feel about my father. He left before I was born and decided whenever I was 13 he wanted to come back into my life. I am 20 years old now and the anger I felt toward him is still there but even with all the hate and anger built up I still wish that I could have been Daddy's Little Girl. No one will ever understand what it was like until they have been put in that situation.
Austin
