Room Upon His Knee

When the father sees his children smile now his mind drifts back to a time when they were three and he would read their favorite books as they sat upon his knee. He sees them all grown up and wonders… Is it possible he got the time wrong? Wasn’t it only yesterday? Has it really been that long? The moment is both sweet and bitter Remembering old times… feeling a little glum Yet proud and happy for today and the people they’ve become. He is happy to have created memories he can easily recollect and happy to create new ones every time their journeys intersect. He has a feeling of contentment knowing his life is the way it’s supposed to be and knowing if they ever need it there is room upon his knee.
