At Disneyland
We tell them to listen to us.
Are you listening?
Be a good listener.
When we argue
When we speak words we don't mean
Listen to me,
listen to your father,
we tell them.
What do they hear?

The Way You Sweat
I think about it sometimes.
About how much you carry for us physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally.
God knows how much I appreciate.
The way you don't even know every aspect of what you do for others.
That's the best part.
I watch you and admire.
The way you love what you do.
The way you dedicate your time and effort into becoming really good at it.
You sweat, under a tremendous amount of stress and pressure.
You pour your heart out.
That's why I respect you.

Like An Eagle
Thank you for killing my pain.
And for loving me as you love your best self.
A father in a room full of birds.
Even our nation started with four of them.
Some like shooting stars.
Bright when they fly across the sky but they only exist for a little while.
Beautiful souls trying to find their way in life.
Like a father watching over his children, he endured.
As for me, he made me want to live my life.

The Tiki Room
We stood on the edge of the stairway at Disneyland and watched the fireworks.
They're loud, really loud.
And they're stunning.
He pointed his finger at me like he was shooting a gun and I wondered if he realized he made that gesture.
And I listened to his words that were spoken so quickly I could only decipher the ones that went along with his gesture.
It was pure genius.
I saw a lizard wedged between the wood on the deck and when I looked closer I recognized the body of a snake under it.
Possibly a king snake that had its stuck jaws spread around the lizard's neck.
When I came home he asked me if I wanted to drink the blood of a lizard and I thought, but I'm not a king.
