pick up dad

little angel
fast asleep
dreaming of stories
to tell and keep

tired from teeth
that won't tear through
hurting but happy
all the same

my sweet, sweet
boy of only 2
there's nothing in the world
i wouldn't do
to block the pain
to keep you happy
to make you smile
to hold you close
for a while

the peace of your breath
helps me live

your small hands
turning books
your funny looks

soon, you'll startle
shocked and mad

yelling "pick up dad"
