Daily Prompt: The Clock

How To Build A Playhouse

 

I heard the car door slam,

and immediately looked a the clock.

Daddy’s home!

As I ran to the door I couldn’t help noticing

The giant box on the car roof!

Whatever could it be?

Lots of ropes wound about it

And clearly there was nothing in it,

Or so I thought.

An empty wooden crate?

Why?

As Daddy struggled to remove it,

I saw his excited smile

And knew it was not just an empty crate at all,

But one filled with his love for me!

I was right!
