We strode the path
treading leaves and roots
two shadows pursuing our bodies
where the air was thick and languid
along the river, keeping company
on a day meant to assure
me that the word father actually
had a definition, but this,
this I already knew, truth
known to me, there in the park
the instant she took my hand
and said I love you, daddy.
You can't replace those moments of perfection.

ReplyDeleteoh my. this makes me cry. Nothing makes the heart swell more than those words from our little ones. A perfect moment in time.
