You Use To


You use to call me "Mommy"

I used to hold you tight

I used to hug and kiss you

As I tucked you in at night

 

You use to call me "Daddy"

Whenever I entered the door

I used to tickle your tummy

As we played on the floor

 

You use to write, "To Mommy"

On colored pictures I displayed

You used to repeat the words

To each prayer that we prayed

 

You use to say, "More Daddy"

While bouncing on my knee

You used to giggle loud

That filled my heart with glee

 

You use to sing with Mommy

As Mommy prepared a meal

You used to bring me boo boos

That only Mommy's kisses healed

 

You use to cry for Daddy

When the boogie man was near

You used to know in Daddy's arms

There never was no fear

 

We cried the day you left us

We cried again today

It seems at times that's all we've done

Since that day you went away...
