Magic happens when I least expect it
Never when I’m trying so hard to make it
And when I’m in it,
and I recognize
Fightin’ so hard to stay in it
I wanna grab it
hold onto it
The baby’s scent
Squishy little hand in mine
One more kiss
Watching tv
with my oldest, talking design
Beggin’
For a tickle
and a tuck-in at the age of ten
When they reach for me
Not thinkin’
Just being boys instead of men
Then it’s magic
It sneaks up on me
And takes my breath away
Effortless
Not forced
Or squeezed into my busy day
The clock stops
I’m suspended
Until those gods up there press PLAY ▶️
