Daddy, do you miss me?

Daddy, where have you gone? I remember you holding my hand and walking me to school. You said "I love you" and turned and walked away So tell me Daddy, where have you gone? Daddy, where are you? Are you safe,...happy Momma's here, so is Little Joey. So tell me Daddy, where are you? Daddy, are you going to come home? I made potato pancakes hoping you would. Little Joey doesn't remember you, but Momma and I do. So tell me Daddy, are you going to come home? Daddy, have you witnessed death? Momma killed the pigs yesterday, you use to do that. I have witnessed death, So tell me, Daddy, have you witnessed death? Daddy, why did you leave? I watched you walk away. You turned and waved I never saw you again. So tell me Daddy, why did you leave? Daddy, are you happy? Little Joey is always smiling, it makes me and Momma happy too. So tell me, Daddy, are you happy? Daddy, why did you leave? Were you angry with me? Were you angry with little Joey? Were you angry with Momma? So tell me Daddy, why did you leave? Daddy, are you in the War? that is what Suzzie said. Her daddy is in it. So tell me Daddy, are you in the War? Daddy, are you safe? I heard Momma talking about the War. she said it isn't safe. So tell me Daddy, are you safe? Daddy, what is war like? I think it is bloody and lots of people die. Lots of girls lose their Daddies So tell me Daddy, what is war like? Daddy, are you hungry? We have shortages of food now. I am hungry. So tell me Daddy, are you hungry? Daddy, why have you been gone so long? It has been three years since you left me at school. So tell me, Daddy, why have you been gone so long? Daddy, can you come home? Momma is older now. Little Joey isn't little anymore. But I am still the little girl you left at school. So tell me Daddy, can you come home? Daddy, are you dead? Joey thinks you are. Momma refuses to think so I don't know what I think. So tell me Daddy, are you dead? Daddy, are you in Heaven? Are there angles? can I come to Heaven if you are there? So tell me Daddy, are you in Heaven? Daddy, are you missing? Suzzie's daddy is, and I thought you might be too. So tell me, Daddy, are you missing? Daddy, do you miss me? Momma misses you, so does Joey, even though he doesn't remember you. I miss you too. So tell me, Daddy, do you miss me? Daddy, will you be there for my wedding? I have always wanted you to be there, But now Joey is here, He is going to give me away For my wedding, if you aren’t there, So tell me Daddy, will you be there for my wedding? Daddy, will you be there for the birth of your first grandchild? Momma will be, And I want you to be too. So tell me, Daddy, will you be there for the birth of your first grandchild? Daddy, did you find Momma? She left yesterday, she Wanted to see you, Just like I want to see you. So tell me, Daddy, did you find Momma? Daddy, did you meet John? He was my second born, He died last week. Did Momma meet him? So tell me, Daddy, did you meet John? Daddy, will you meet me in Heaven? I will be coming soon, Joey went to the war like you. I want to see him before I leave, So tell me, Daddy, will you meet me in Heaven? Daddy, do you miss me? I missed you tons, Over the years, but now I will See you again, Daddy, this is my last breath, I will see you soon, but Daddy please, Tell me, Did you miss me like I missed you?
