We have had such a good day and yet
Mum had manage to upset it
She had only one job just one
And she hadn't been able to do it
Mum had promised Samuel, Jack and Holly
She would phone them before they went to bed
They kept asking me throughout dinner and when
I put them to bed if mum had phoned
Their sad faces when I had to tell the no broke me
This is the one thing I don't think mum understands
When she doesn't keep her promises
The downfall afterwards
Im always there for it not her
I wish she was sometimes
But I could never do anything like that to the triplets
After putting Samuel, Jack and Holly to bed I
Decide to go back to my cabin
I feel like crying but not in front of the family
I have to do that alone
Grandad asks me if I want to play cards with him
I say no that I'm going to bed
Its been a long day and I'm tired
In reality if I sit down with grandad I will start to cry
Making him and Grandma worried
They do not need that tonight
When I get to the cabin I go straight to my room
And sit on my bed replaying the scenes of the day
We had a picnic near the river and played a game of
Horse shoe which Jack was really good at
I lay down one the bed facing the window
when I here the front door opening
Its Masie
She asks if I'm awake but I don't respond
Masie turns out the light before getting in to bed
Leaving me to cry in the dark
