At times that crying boy br can be like bottled joy. br A most unlikely teacher br turns me into a preacher, br br while teaching parents on the job, br he soon calls Dad not Dad but Bob. br As he grows tall and confident br Bob wonders where the decades went. br br First girlfriend does elicit wince br as fades your own significance. br The word redundance comes to mind, br you sit and ponder, left behind, br br what will the world mean to your lad br and should you help, as you're the Dad. br The horseman asks to hold him back br or spoon him up, right down the track.
