Stuck In Now
A child swinging on her tire swing,
smiling at her father,
the sweet smell of dewy grass filling up the world.
Does the father know the girl will grow up have dates, scream,
disobey his every command and
at one time in her life lose his trust, drink, lie
and sneak around.
No, he does not know but for know what the future brings does not matter,
for he looks at her as an angel given to him bye god and created bye love.
So the world falls away while only she matters to him.
He is happy that earth is stuck in now.
