Happy Birthday Dad

13.09.2010




"Goodnight, mermaid," he told to me.
"Goodnight, Dad," I responded.
Before he closed the door completely, I held out a red colored box with a pink bow tied on top. "Dad?" I asked.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Happy birthday, Dad," I said, trying to show my smile.
"Thank you," he took the gift and unwrapped the box.
It was my poem, that took me almost two hours to make. He opened it up and smiled a little after.
"Goodnight, Dad."
"Goodnight, mermaid."
I hid under the covers and closed my eyes, trying to avoid the light in the hallway.
I heard the air turn on and I felt the mixture of hotness and coldness, surround my body. The light in the crack on the bottom turned off. And all that was left was the light from the moon.
I closed my eyes, and lied down. I tried to go to sleep and make a lucid dream happen, but unfortunately, I couldn't fall asleep. I got out of bed, holding my Eeyore stuffed animal, and headed down the hallway.
I hear the loud snoring of my father. I knocked a soft knock and walked in. "Dad?" I asked innocently.
"Mmm…?" I could tell that he was a little tired.
"I can't go to bed," I opened my eyes wide, from the last nightmare I had.
He moved over and moved the blankets, assuring me that I could lay down in his bed.
"Thank you, Dad."
"Goodnight, mermaid."
"Goodnight, Dad," I started to feel my eyes getting heavy.
His bed was way comfy, too comfy to not sleep on it.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep, after hearing my father sigh.
''Happy birthday, Dad.''
