Mommy,
Susie's parents are married
And her dad lives with them.
David's parents are divorced
but his dad visits him.
Janet's dad has,
'Gone to a better place'�
But her mom says he's still here
Even though they can't see his face.
Tasha lives with just her dad
And they've never had to be apart.
And all the other kids at school
Have a dad who loves them
With all his heart
But mommy
I don't have a father
To call me, 'daddy's little girl.'�
I don't have a dad who cares for me
More than anything in this world
I don't understand
Why my daddy is gone.
Please
Tell me mommy
Did I do something wrong?

The tears are falling...that's all I can say! This is a wonderfully, sad piece. Hit's the core of all children who have suffered from the absence of a parent.
Wow, beautiful and touching. The last line is very moving. The words were so effective that I didn't even notice the structure of the poem because I was too focused on just reading it (instead of analyzing).
