Back and forth
their little legs pump the swing
With him pushing them endlessly
from the parent bench
The wails of laughter
Pulling heart strings
leaving a thirst that only happiness can quench
There could be no other place
to be
Than sitting here greedily watching idyllic
right now
The smell of fresh cut grass
perfumes the moment
with the heat heightening the sweetened smell
from Daddy’s wetted brow
White smiles, sun kissed hair, tender pink hands
wrap Daddy! Daddy! up in a ticklish embrace
Chasing imaginary fairies, looking for dragons
Wistfully wishing
Please, please
never make me leave this place!
Daddy! Daddy! Is everything
That you will ever be
nothing could ever matter more
A guaranteed place card to hold
a date in the movie theater
on a very-in-the-future-night
with two little girls Daddy will always adore
