Have you ever seen your old man get ready for a date?
Despite his age and experience, he's still insecure of his wrinkles and unsure of his dress
But you can hear him smiling from upstairs when he calls up to you telling you he will be back soon enough

A teenage girls Christmas list:
Their mothers attention
Their fathers happiness
Their sisters approval
But to never be compared to them again
The strongest friends

Here's to the rain against the window,
too early for the sun.
To the quiet stirring of my new friend, and the poetic genius on the wood floor.
Here's to being held by half a man, for the first time.
To taking in the smell,
and the warmth of a stranger.
Here's to becoming something bigger than you,
To the new feeling of eyes on you as you sleep.
