This is for the dads who lift us up
Who throw us up in the sky
And over their shoulders.
To those ones
That
Tackle us
Say no
Tell cryptic stories
Teach us
Throw us a ball
Or a dad joke
Are passive
See us in silence
Implore us to move-
To the dads who chased us with crossed eyes around the dining room table-
We ran from you.
We ran to you.
And so, this is for you.
You are the sculptors that chip away at our naïvety. The ones that teach us to stand tall with our chin up
You
bring chaos to our order
Perseverance to our weakness
And
Safety to our being.
To those dads, this is for you.
