Dear God, I Miss My Daddy
My daddy is an Fireman,
And to the Job he's been true.
He didn't come home from work last night,
Mommy says he's in Heaven with you.
I'm worried about my daddy God,
He's never been away from home before,
Mommy cried when she told me,
That we wouldn't see daddy no more.
I don't know what it was,
That mommy was trying to explain.
She said the Firemen weren't bad men,
And their lives are not lost in vain.
Now I don't know what that means God,
All I know is we miss daddy a lot.
Because tomorrow is my birthday,
And I sure hope he hasn't forgot.
I've followed in my daddy's footsteps,
And I'll fight my own fires one day.
I hope I make him proud God,
Everynight, for this I pray.
I miss those rough and callused hands,
That held me gentle so.
Are you sure you didn't make a mistake,
Did my daddy have to go?
Dear God if my daddy is up there in heaven,
Please tell him as soon as his he's free.
To hurry back home as fast as he can,
Because we miss him, mommy and me.
May God Bless, Amen

Without going into much detail, my handle should be enough of an explanation, I read this poem and sat here and cried, you see when I got off work the Morning of Sept 12 big ol burndaddy went home picked up my 7 month old son and cried not because i was afraid but because I knew there would be little boys and girls waiting for their daddys to come home only to realize that they were not. God bless my brothers and their families, you answered the bell and did your job.
