Haiku Friday - Missing Her

I accepted the challenge today to write my haiku from the perspective of the opposite sex. I chose to write as if I were my husband.

Each morning it's hard
to leave behind my baby.
Got to go to work.

I leave just before
she wakes up from her slumber.
Don't get to see her.

When I get back home
I finally get to play
with my sweet daughter.

After one short hour
(okay, maybe more like two)
she heads off to bed.

But I am the one
who gets to rock her to sleep
and kiss her goodnight!
