Mommy but no daddy

by Cristi   Nov 22, 2004


I remember the days when i use to put up my hair
and you would nibble on my neck and you were always there

taking long walks on the beach watching waves hit our feet
i was only 17 but my love for you was still so deep
every night was passion and lust
told me we would be together and we were a must

now 1 year together
8months later baby's born with no father at home doctors visits i went alone
birthdays almost here
damn Jordens almost a year
wish your daddy was here
to see the miracle that appeared

shes speaking now
she knows mommy's here
but daddy's nowhere to be found
praying to god that someday she's understand that i was only 17 and daddy was no man

shes starting preschool now
i put her hair in bows
i send her a kiss and a little note
on a napkin so she knows
mommy loves her xoxo's

when she gets back from school
mommy's there to pick her up and kisses her on the cheek and she giggles and plays
and she finally says
mommy i know that you love me and daddy's faraway and me and you will be OK

    Wow. thats all i can really say about this poem. it is so sad, but trust me, your not the only person that goes through this. I know that the father was messed up, and he will forever be. my mom is a single mother taking care of my brother & I, and yes, sometimes it IS hard, but i KNOW that you will get through it. When i'm in a bad situation i tell myself this, "When You Think POSITIVE, Positive Things WILL Happen to You. When You Think NEGATIVE, Negative Things WILL Happen To You." When i heard this on "The Secret," it blew me away. it is so true!
