Two hours isn’t nearly long enough, but, at least it was some time.
Father's Day With My Daughters (2019) by Michael Romani Some dads find it fine to have bragging rights In that they've done in spending sleepless nights But, honestly, I can say I know that simple as can be Reading to them both while in the womb built empathy So much so that my eldest angel appeared on ultra sound That first time she sat up and followed my voice she found Filtering at the entrance of the room as I was walking in And she turned to me extending her finger again and again And so it's been for both of my little ladies that I love Two precious and cherished angels coming as gifts from above Each of them opening my eyes to the world as I had not seen Both of them reaching inside me to make me a better human being Today, we went to the State Museum to look at fashionable hues How each color struck different eras worth a thousand views I watched as they learned to combine color and fabric's design Into their own creations that struck me at times as sublime Each gave me huge hugs that somehow made my troubles fade away Each moment a dream cherished as we talked and walked today A game of questions over lunch intrigued me as I grew to know That they are getting older and wiser as each life surely goes They didn't like my answer that with them is where I wanted to be But to them time flows more slowly than it is with time for me If I could change one thing in my life it would be to be together Living more as their daddy and knowing more closely and better (c) June 16, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
