Mummy says I shouldn't cry anymore,
That she'l be home soon.
She has been saying that for a year now,
and I think Daddy's leaving too.
Mummy says to be a big girl,
But I'm only 4.
Daddy's says he will be with mummy soon,
but he says I'm, too young to go.
I went to see Mummy and Daddy today,
They did not say much.
See my Mummy died in a plane crash,
and Daddy wanted to be by her side.
I turn 5 today guess what I found out?
10 more years of this place, and I'm moving out.
