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.
