When My Dad Left

by Tereneasha James
Grade 4
Webster Magnet School

When my dad left

I was crying

and crying I was

so mad and I was

sad.  I miss my

dad.  He was

the best dad.  I would

never get in trouble

and when I get

mad at mom

I say I want

my dad and I will

never forget my daddy

he loves me and I

love him too.  I

wish he still

lived with

me.  I miss

my daddy.

No one

can replace my daddy

but  my daddy

even when he left me

so what.  People

make mistakes.

I love my daddy.
