‘I love you daddy’
Words I never thought I’d hear
You whispered them softly in my ear
This morning
While I was between sleep and waking
Thought I was dreaming
Your smile was beaming
At me
Then you giggled
As I came to my senses
I tickled
You fell about laughing
Today the traffic
Can wait
This moment, a tonic
To remember forever
Such fun
I love you son.
