Birthday I Will Never Forget

It’s been 5 years since I’ve seen my daddy and he’s going to be here Here at my 9th birthday party with all my friends and family I can barely contain the excitement but a little nervous too So many people waiting for me at the skating rink All there to celebrate my birthday, everyone there for ME As I see my daddy I take off running into his arms And I’m crying and so is he as we embrace each other We’re both so happy with smiles across our faces Looking around I see all my friends, their moms and dads I see my family and for once my mom AND my dad are here too All waiting for me to blow out my candles and make a wish But this was my wish to have everyone I love here for me But then my dad asked to take me to pick out my presents My mom said no and they both started to yell in front of everyone Everyone watching and staring at them argue As I sat in a corner crying because all my dad wanted Was to take his little girl to get what her heart desired Mommy whisked me away and daddy never got the chance to say goodbye Mommy fought to get me in the car as I stared out the back window crying Wishing I had made that wish when I blew out my candles
