14 Candels

When I was 14 my daddy was dying from a bad type of cancer that came uninvited but this day was special on this day we put all the issues aside for it was my birthday and I was his little girl he taught me so much that day that I will always remember he loved me enough to get out of bed and take me down to the famous bakery where he always got our cakes This meant the world to me because even though he was in so much pain he rode the train with me that day and hid it away I remember girls watching me enviously that day I never understood why girls treated me this way what he told me that day I never forgot He said girls will always be jealous because your very beautiful but don't be afraid hold your head up high even when they look away I wore a smile on my face all the way home As my family gathered around to sing me a birthday song I was so happy and filled with glee cause my daddy was able to celebrate with me it made our situation seem less gray to me on my 15 birthday he was to sick to see me and before my 16 he passed away so this day, my 14 birthday was always special to me
