His 53rd birthday

The mood was angst.
The only happiness was the success in surprising him with a cake.
the moment was brief,
like a magician showing his trick,
bringing the cake from under the table.

He din know,
the cake was a $60 cake.
i bought chocolate cheesecake.
he said his favourite was chocolate.

as long as i feel it is worth it.
i hope he feels it too.

happy birthday daddy.
