Please enjoy another contribution from Lilly Babineau, “Will You Take Me Fishing?”
When daddy left, I was sad
I knew not what to do
Mommy would go to sleep upset
Praying for someone new
I’d sit alone on my bedroom floor
Dreaming about the times
My daddy would play catch with me
And sing me nursery rhymes
Then you came along,
And mom didn’t cry anymore
You seemed to really love her
And me you seemed to adore
You helped me with my shoelaces
Taught me how to tie them tight
And just like my daddy did before
You sang to me at night
Soon we were all smiling
And no longer needed wishing
For you, new daddy, I have one question,
Will you take me fishing?
