Time Passes


Dad walks slowly.
Not because he’s tired,
But because
No one’s waiting

Anywhere.

He doesn’t wear his watch
Because he never has to know what time it is.

When he stops to talk
Or touch,
He leaves me slowly.
Not because he’s tired,
But because
No one’s waiting

Anywhere.

A great reminder that being surrounded by friends and family, laughter and love, are the best ways to spend a life.
