Daddy

Behind a steering wheel
snaking safely on mountain roads
with two of his best friends belted tight
in the backseat.

Stretched out on the couch
of a different friend's house
just so he has time to see everyone
from his hometown.

Leaned back in a chair
tall at the bar he's always at
with the guys, calling and crying
for those not there.

Hugging his kids
the minute he sees them
always smiling, glad they're there
with him, wherever.
