a song a story

Birthday- maisie peters.

She rushed to the door, stumbling over her own feet. He had come! He was here for her 5th birthday. He has missed last year and the year before.

"Daddy's here, daddy's here!" She squealed fumbling with the handle.

Even if he was 2 hours late she didn't mind. She just wanted to see him. Finally she got the door opened and she swung it open smiling up and the man in front of her. The smile dropped when she realised it was just the postman.

"Hey little lady" he smiled passing her the letters.

She smiled softly closing the door as he walked away.

"It wasn't him, false alarm!" She yelled to her mother.

6 years later.

"I'll get it!" She laughed running from her family.

As she opened the door her smile widened seeing him outside the door.

"Dad!" She squealed running into his open arms.

He was 1 hour late but she didn't mind.

"Sorry munchkin, the car broke down" he chuckled hugging her tighter.

"I understand"

4 years later

"Here dad, I finally recorded all my songs" she laughs excitedly passing him the disk.

She pretends not to notice the scrunching of his nose as he slips it into his pocket.

1 year later.

"He said he would be here in 15" she whispers to herself looking around at the empty party.

Everyone had left. He was late.

"Hes coming"

But she's just a fool who spent her birthday all alone.

1 year later

"He doesn't remember does he!" She screams at her mother throwing the birthday cards to the ground.

"He doesn't care" she sobs

"Today's my birthday! And he's still not here"

"I never asked for anything other then him to wish me a happy birthday"

"Why is he like this"

The candle are all blown out.

She could pretend to understand
But she won't.
