JUST like daddy..

by Karmen |

“I want to be just like daddy”
pronounced at our house
with the short /e/ sound “deddy” 
the rascals say it all the time
and it makes my heart turn flips
every single time they do
the rascals don’t know it but 
I love him more than they do
and this is why
when they ask to ride the ground sled
He’s says “load up”
when they ask if they can shave
He says “nice and slow”
when they ask if he wants to play farm
He’s says “let’s hang the gate here”
when they ask to ride their ponies
He says “get your boots on”
when they ask if they can go fishing
He says” get your pole”
they laugh
together
learn
and love
always
together

they don’t know it
but they’ve got mighty BIG BOOTS to fill someday.
