Homesick.

I couldn’t be there with you.
I made a call to let you know that I love you.

I heard laughter, giggling from the background,
and all those happy sounds.
I wish I was there,
feeling the love and joy in the air.

You were about to blow the candles.
You asked me to make a wish with you on the phone.
How sweet of you.
So I whispered that I wish our family can all be together soon.

It has been too long,
we have let money and time keep us apart.
I hope I can run to you,
like I did when I was a little girl.
Run to where I belong.

Father, Happy 60th birthday.
