A short poem on the confusion of a child when the father becomes absent
Mummy, where has Daddy gone? We havent seen him for oh so long.

Mummy. why do you keep crying? Is it something bad thats makes you so sad?

Mummy, did we do something bad that made Daddy go away? If we say sorry will he come back to stay?

Mummy,I did a painting in school today, the best in all the class, I would  like Daddy to see it, do you think you could ask?

Mummy, I had a nightmare, I really am afraid,and Daddy is not here to make me feel safe.

Mummy,I dont understand, why have we moved so far away? How is Daddy going to see my school play when we are so far away?

What did that policeman want mummy? Why do you look so sad? I see you got Daddys clothes and wallet in that bag, Is daddy coming to stay? Is he going to walk in through the door? Is it going to be like it was before?

I really dont understand Mummy what has happened now? I thought we were going to see Daddy so why are we at a Church and why does everyone have a Frown?

I understand now Mummy, Daddy has gone away,he has gone to a place I cannot go and there he has to stay. I will never forget You Daddy and i will see you again one day.
