Kathryn Flanagan Poet Free verse

The Best Birthday Present of All...

I remember
The bittersweet joy
Of my fifth birthday

I remember 
Blowing out the candles and wishing with all my might
For my Dad to come home

I remember 
Astonishment and shock
With heart-stopping joy

I remember
Him racing down the hill
In a bright red convertible

I remember
Him walking through the door
Sailing bags in tow

I remember
Running to him
Clinging to him and crying on his shirt

I remember
Him coming home...
