Into her Daddy's Home
the last light
she will see tonight
flickering candles
against the darkness
she knows she will
leave and travel
without her luggage
without her backpack
she whispers her goodbye
to all around her
the caped man arrives
and she closes her eyes
she feels his love
her daddy's warmth
in the light she wakes
in her daddy's arms
you waited daddy
she says
he nods and hugs
her healed body.

The father is ideally a kind of Superman, the protector of his children. Maybe teaching them to fly on their own terms eventually. The last line "her healed body" is mysterious. Healed from what? It sounds like it might be very personal.

Illness. When we go to the thereafter, we heal. So I am told. Daddy can be Big Daddy, God, too.
Stirs deep memories. As my Father was taking his last conscious breaths, I told him - perhaps for the very first time - that I loved him. And asked that when my time came that he be there - if he could - to take me wherever ever is. I'm glad her Daddy waited.

Dear BlueTwain. I hope someone waits for me in the thereafter. I hope your daddy will. :) Thank you for reading.
