I once had
my sweet little girl ask me...
Daddy?
Yes dear?
Is the little man in the snow-globe, is he happy?
She looked up at me with bright blue eyes,
eyes so deep they were bottomless oceans.
I could stare into them forever.
I took my rough, calloused hands that were sanded with age,
into the gentle palm of her own.
"How could I ever tell her?" he thought
with a gaze so lovingly at her.
Clutching the snow-globe ever so tightly,
she shook it twice so that light, beautiful snow-flakes
gush in all directions, inundating the glass city..
I smiled, and told my darling:
Don't worry sweetheart,
it is only trapped in a perfect world.
She didn't seem to understand.
