Waiting For Dad

Waiting For Dad

 

On the steps I waited

For dad each afternoon

With excitement and elated

That he would be home soon

 

I enjoyed an ice cream cone

As I waited for him to arrive

Then as always he was home

Right before my eyes

 

His driver was my friend

And knew that I’d be there

Waiting for my hero again

For whom I so cared

 

He let me carry his lunchbox

Up the three stone steps

And I was important I thought

When he patted me on the head

 

In the house were his loved ones

That gave him meaning and worth

And with us kids he had fun   

Despite his coal and dirt

    A lovely adult recalling of the love and devotion felt as a child in terms as a child would see.
    Delightful to read.
