Tell me,
please
what she looks like
how she smiles
what teeth she's lost.
Does she still laugh
as she did
with me?
Does she
call him
'daddy'?Will they
remember
anything more
than my voice
and my absence
from their lives?Please tell me,
(I wish
you would
talk
to me),
when they ask
"why isn't daddy here?'
do you answer
"he wants to be.
he loves you all.
he is trying."
or
do
you say
nothing
at all.Tell me please,
do they
even ask
anymore?
