My dad forgets to read to me

My dad forgets to read to me

He sometimes has to work late


So my mom reads to me instead,
But she doesn’t say the words as funny as he does

He sometimes get stuck in traffic

So my mom asks my older brother to read to me
But he reads too fast and tries to skip pages

My dad sometimes has work to do at home

So my mom asks my sister to read to me
And although she is older then me
She tells me to just look at the pictures and say the words out loud

My dad sometimes has to do something
Because our house needs fixing

So my mom says to read by myself
And I spend the time
Reading alone in my room…

But every once in a while

My dad is home

And does not have work to do

Or errands to run

And it is our special time together

And when he starts to read

He lays on my bed

And before I know it

He falls asleep
But I know he thinks he did a good thing
Even though sometimes my dad forgets to read to me…
