Simply There
Tonight, I'm going to
my father's birthday party.
My mother will prepare
his favourite meal
and best-loved cake.
And each of us
will bring a gift
to help him celebrate.
But I know my father well.
We could come empty-handed,
and he would never care.
Surrounded by his children
and their children too,
his face will show
the gift he really
treasures most
is simply that we
are there.
