I look up at the sky…
“Thank you dad.”
I know your crafted it.
I know you’ve been finding the right time.
I know you picked what you picked.
Because you know what I need.
It is different that I thought.
Different than I expected.
Different than I imagined.
But how I feel…
How I’m treated…
Looked at…
Cared for…
Is new.
Different.
Not arrogant.
Not for show.
Simple.
In the best way.
Easy.
As it should be.
Paced.
As I need it to be.
“Feel don’t think…”
She says to me.
“Stop thinking. Just feel”
She continues.
“Go outside. Look up to the sky and say thank you Dad.”
