Such Hours Held
What do you do when your
spirit is utterly broken?
You suggest Hey, let’s go test drive
cars this morning, and you do
which leaves you starved so
you order Migas for lunch and say
Shoot I could eat this every day.
Then you head for home comparing
those cars, the handling, looks,
mostly the monthly payments,
plus there’s talk of Game of Thrones
for he has inherited that vice.
And more than once is heard
the sweetness of laughter.
Such hours held between a father
and son are good medicine.
In that morning the world seemed new again –
like a warm rain after a movie.
