Wishes <br />On a shooting star <br />One girl wishes <br />Her dad would come back from afar <br />Her daddy's off in war <br />Off in Iraq <br />Every day she hopes <br />Her dad would come back <br />'Why does there have to be war! ? ' <br />She cries <br />Her mommy shakes her head <br />Shrugs and sighs <br />No one will answer her <br />No one hears her plea <br />No one comes to her aid <br />No one can see <br />How this little girl is hurting <br />Everywhere <br />It shouldn't be her problem <br />To bear <br />And so each night <br />She crawls out of bed <br />To see when her daddy <br />Will give her a goodnight kiss on her head<br /><br />Courtney Beaudry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daddy-s-little-girl-15/
