Children

I see them twice a month

Or every other weekend if you will

Counting the days

Until their faces shine in front of me

Like the morning sun

I cant imagine what it must be like

Knowing goodbye means two weeks

To a child as I recall that’s eternity

How do they do it?

Two homes, two moms, two dads…two lives

I remember as a child the pure excitement and

Delectation seeing my father pull into the drive

"Daddy’s home! Daddy’s home"…

That was Nightly.
