Over and Out

 

Dear Son,

 

When you're shopping your children's book

And doors are closing in your face

We'll always have this trip

 

When you meet the love of your life

And she's the only one you'll ever think about

We'll always have this trip

 

When you're changing the diaper of your screaming baby

And you wonder what the hell you've gone and done

We'll always have this trip

 

When all is well but you're overwhelmed

And the open road is closed for repair

We'll always have this trip

 

When your father acts like a jerk again

And you're embarrassed for your kids

We'll always have this trip

 

When you visit me and I'm barely there

And a word from you brings a gleam to my eye

We'll always have this trip.

 

Thanks for the memories, Son.

 

Love always,

Dad
