So Short
Son; he says;
I am going to die.
How soon; I ask.
Real soon; he says;
Twenty, thirty years,
I've lived a while.
Why are you so old?
I ask, brokenly.
Because I was not
Ready to be a father
When I was younger;
He answers,
understanding.
I don't want you to die,
At least not so soon;
I grumble weakly
But, I'm ready for it,
I've spent my years
Holding onto life;
He says;
With you in the world
My last real job
Is to teach you
How to live.
Life's too short;
I say.
So short;
He agrees.
Now,
Let's talk girls
He says with
A wink and a smile
