There is a song, by Frankie J, called Daddy’s Little Girl, and although I am not the mushiest girl, especially when it comes to songs, this song makes me cry every single time I hear it. I will post the lyrics underneath my analysis. This song’s first verse, is from the perspective of a young girl. She is begging God to make sure her Daddy doesn’t leave, and trying to explain to her Dad, that her Mom is saying things she doesn’t mean, and that she will be really good, and try hard in school. This part makes me so sad, she is such an innocent child, trying to do whatever she can, and I have seen the affects of an absent father in a woman’s life and thinking about it makes me upset. The second verse, talks about someone who’s father is passing away, and in the bridge of this song, I remember that I was watching the video one day, and there was a soldier, who’s daughter came out, and saluted him, while tears were streaming down her face, and around her neck, was her father’s dogtags. This gets me everytime, because I have such a sympathy, and respect for children and families who are war-stricken, in any kind of way. I can imagine, saying goodbye to my mother or father every month or so, sending them off to war. I have so much respect for those of you who have grown up without a father, who’ve lost someone they love, and those who still have to say goodbye all the time, and send someone they love, off to war.
