Daddy’s Birthday

” Without you I was broken
But I’d rather be broke down with you by my side”

from Jack Johnson’s “Broken”

Today we’ll bake a buttermilk cake

frost it in chocolate and
there’s a little pile of presents he’s been begging for

worse than a child and

we’re all so thankful for the way
he plays and laughs and teaches us

to pray and

when he drives up to a blue house with windows glowing gold

and smells wood smoke from the chimney

supper will be waiting served with 5 smiling faces

happy he’s home.
