American Daughters.

American Daughters.

She never knew what it was like
not to have a father around.
He was there each and every night,
to tuck her into bed just right,
with the words " I love you" written on his face.

She never knew what it was like
to never fear for ones loss.
He wasn't there every night,
but he was doing what was right,
with the words " Your Freedom" written on his picture.

She never knew what it was like
to never miss the one she loved.
There for fifteen years; every single night,
doing what he knew was right,
with the words " I'll leave you in the morning" no where.

She never knew what it was like
to have a home in glory land.
She slept on the curb every night,
with out a father ever in sight,
with the words " I need you" written on her face.

They never knew what it was like
to feel a different way.
Each in a different place every night,
wondering why it feels just right,
to have the words " American Daughter" written on their lives.

I'm not quite sure if this belongs here; though I think it does.
And, for those confused on which girl is living what life; first girl is living a life with the best father, second is living a life with a father in army/navy/marines, etc, third had a wonderful father who left one day, and fourth had no father, ever. But, they all have on thing in common; as you can see.
