I'm up early at the crack of dawn today <br />I'm dressed, I'm ready and feel so great. <br />I'll have a big smile on my face all day <br />because my daddy is coming home today. <br /> <br />He'll hold my hand and I'll look so tall <br />when he walks me all the way to school <br />and all the children who said I was just lying <br />they all will see that I have a daddy too. <br /> <br />I'm so excited I keep asking her the time <br />but my nana says don't be a pest he is only late <br />my daddy is a very busy man she says <br />so please be patient, all you have to do is wait. <br /> <br />I've been waiting for the bell to ring <br />feeling a little sad at my desk all day <br />but it's four o'clock and it's now ringing <br />so I run to see my daddy waiting at the gate. <br /> <br />It's eight o'clock and I've been crying since four <br />I've been so upset I didn't even want to play <br />but nana cuddles me and says I mustn't fret <br />she is sure my daddy will come another day.<br /><br />Chris Zachariou<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-daddy-is-coming-home-today/
