Dad calling.
He is coming to pick us up.
  Packing
     Pacing
         Planning

Just two more days.
He will be here.
    Talking
        Wishing
            Dreaming

Oh, today is the day
He will be here soon.
   Nervous
      Happy
          Excited

Sitting in the driveway.
On his way here.
    Playing
        Smiling
              Running

Waiting for dad.
Been two hours.
   Crying
       Laying in the grass
            Hiccups

"Mom please call him again."
He didn't answer.
    Sad
        Hurt
           Wretched

Sitting again in the driveway.
Getting dark out now.
   Wishing
       Misery
           Pain

"Mom he is going to come."
"Please don't make me go to bed now!"
    Pleading
        Crying
            Hoping

Dark now outside.
Daddy didn't call back.
In the bed.
     Crying
         Shattered
               Heartbroken.

Touched my heart

Loss is hard enough in life. But when your are made to relive the pain time and time again, it is such a deep heartache.

I could see the little girl as your poem played out. You made it so real. Keep up the writing I look forward to many more.

memories

They never go away. At least you have a wonderful way to express them, and try to let go. This was real, and many felt it. You captured it, and shared it in a touching way.

Wow...

So simple and elementary, I could feel the child's pain, hear her voice. You found her voice and spoke it well, LilDarlin.

Don't stop writing.
