On My 10th birthday...

daddy promised,
a lovely birthday gift
as pretty as my smile
"it's time to sleep!,"
mommy switched off the lights
i woke in between,
no,two times!
for i want my daddy
tears rolled down my cheeks
mommy did hug me
three tales
&two lullabies
she sang to me
my mind was never at rest
through the open window
i kept staring
asking the passing trains
to bring my daddy back!!
