Construction Paper Masterpiece – Sheréa VéJauan

My daughter gave me a masterpiece

That she drew with her tiny little hands

She used all the colors in her crayon box

To draw this lady and this man

She said, “This is my mommy and beside her is my dad,

He is the best Father a girl could ever have”

I said to her softly, “Baby are you confused”

You see her dad, she’s never seen before

He drank a little too much booze

She said, “Oh no I’m not confused mommy, I see my dad everyday

I talk to Him every morning, Every time I pray

He listens to my heart,

and answers all my requests

I asked Him to keep you strong,

So you’ll be at your best

I told Him about how hard you worked

And how you cry at night when you’re sad

He told me to let you know,

If you need him too. He will also be your Dad”
