Withering Innocence

Dear daddy,

I know its hard to live without mommy,
Which is why I am leaving this note for you to read,
I have gone to find her again,
This time I think I have got where shes been.

Like you, I too am unhappy,
Missing your smile you lost in time,
But daddy mine too, it is missing,
I even cleaned my room, but it is one thing still a mystery.

I searched through all my dirty clothes,
To see it I accidentally thrown it in,
But my smile, daddy it is still missing,
Because it was no where to be seen,

I searched the library book and shelves,
Searched every page and through dusty poetry,
But daddy it is gone,
My smile is a frown,

I watched the show “Lost”,
I watched it very closely,
But my smiles like the cast,
Its disappeared never shown on a map.

I set out flyers with our family picture,
You and me are smile ling along with mommy,
It reads “Missing smile, please help!”
But daddy the phone, it has not ring.

But daddy within that picture we were happy,
We smiled with pure beauty,
But mommy was there you see,
So she stole our smiles within a wink,

So daddy I have gone searching,
For mommy and to be happy,
I am a girl on a mission,
I refuse to stop until I am finished.

But daddy there is only one thing I have accomplished,
Finding mommy was not one of them,
But letting go to things that happened,
To things that I cannot change has showed me happiness,

Daddy I know mommy is dead,
Which is why you never let a smile live,
But Daddy just for me, this one thing I wish to see,
Please smile, I promise I won’t tell!

Sincerely,
Withering Innocence within a child
