This is a poignant poem, @toyosiartdiy! This line especially got to me:

Father I thought I would be totally fine
Even if you left

Speaking from the voice of the father it could be the same, but even sadder message. I'm not suggesting you should change your poem. I'm saying that I think there is a lie that people believe when they tell themselves that their children won't notice they are gone, or it won't have a big impact on the child's life if the parent leaves.

• Child I thought you would be totally fine
  Even if I left
