Sunday Afternoon

sipping coffee on a Sunday afternoon,

dreaming about the day she can be held,

once and for all,

alive and kicking,

alive and breathing,

he thinks this as he tries to work out what he
needs to do in order to be her role model,

the one she cries to when
the neighbor boy who secretly
has a crush on her pushes her
down and runs away like the
youngster he is,

he hopes to have that
positive impact on her,

and so as he sips his coffee
this Sunday afternoon,

he hopes everything can
come out buttered-side up

The struggles of a father trying to do right are endless. This sounds personal and that it what gives the poem heart.

you need to save this and show it to her on that day when things are not going as planned.
