Poem Commentary

Um . . . Yeah. I'm the little girl, who's forgotten what it's like to have something that isn't there, that hardly ever was. And it's been so long that I've forgotten almost everything about it.

Little Girl


I FEEL LIKE A LITTLE GIRL,
WAITING FOR HER DADDY TO COME HOME,
TO COME AND TAKE HER FEARS AWAY,
BUT HE NEVER COMES,
HE'S NEVER THERE,
AND SOON SHE FORGETS
WHAT IT WAS LIKE
TO HAVE A DADDY

SHE'S STILL SITTING THERE,
STILL WAITING FOR HIM,
SO SHE CAN REMEMBER
WHAT HE WAS LIKE,
TO HAVE HER FEARS TAKEN AWAY,
TO FEEL THE COMFORT HE GIVES HER

AND HE'S STILL NOT THERE,
HE'S STILL NOT HOME,
SHE'S WAITING ON A RAINY DAY,
AS SHE STARES AT THE CLOUDS,
SHE WONDERS WHAT SHE DID WRONG,
TO HAVE NO MOMMA,
TO HAVE NO DADDY,
WHO LOVES HERENOUGH TO EVER COME HOME.

SO SHE STAYS THERE,
THE DAYS COME TO PASS,
CLOUD OVER THE SUN,
SHE'S ALMOST GIVEN UP HOPE,
BUT SHE SITS THERE, FAITHFULLY,
WAITING FOR DADDY
TO COME HOME
TO COMFORT HER,
TO TAKE HER FEARS AWAY

I FEEL LIKE A LITTLE GIRL
ALL ALONE AND LOST IN THE WORLD
WITHOUT MY DADDY HERE
TO HELP AND COMFORT ME

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
