My Dad

My dad is mowing the grass. Along with the other dads- Seemingly everyone is mowing at once. Wearing cargo shorts and sandals, like all dads do. Buzzing from the lawnmowers. Does not stop me from falling asleep on the hammock. My dad makes it seem effortless. So maybe it’s not so bad to let him do all the work… Until he walks past me and I see him sweating from the heat. I feel bad, so I make him homemade lemonade. I tell him, I’ll do it next time. But my dad is too wise to believe me. But maybe he really doesn’t mind. As he always gets done in time, To enjoy our peaceful patio together.
