FROM THE HEART
OF A LITTLE GIRL
By ANNIE DENMAN
Daddy, if you know we're hungry,
Know that we are very poor,
It must break your heart in heaven
"Cause you never did insure!
Mamma wonders why you didn't
Save the dimes you threw away;
But you felt too strong and healthy
For insurance, people say.
You were taken without warning,
Leaving us to fight alone.
You'd have taken out insurance,
Daddy, if you'd only known!
"Twasn't that you didn't love us,
I recall how dear you were;
But your little girl must suffer
"Cause you failed to save for her.
Mamma just can't make the living3B
She is wearing out, she said.
I shall have to miss some schooling,
For the sake of daily bread.
When she's gone, I guess they'll take me
To a place of charity3;
To be clothed and fed; but, Daddy,
It can ne'er be home to me.
Mary's daddy left insurance,
And their home will still be theirs.
They're not hungry. Sometimes Mary
Gives me cast-off clothes she wears.
They don't have to take in sewing.
Mary's mamma doesn't cry.
For her Daddy left insurance.
But you didn't, Daddy-WHY?
