I Cried This Morning (2008)

I cried this morning.
Big manly tears.
Two beautiful little women lay at my side.
There they lay. Twitching. Breathing deeply.
Dreaming. Conquering worlds. Their world.
My girls.
The tears were of joy and pride.
Of the boy deep inside.
But now a man.
Trying to figure out and understand,
why my heart tingles
when they hold my hand,
hug me and smile.
Time is an illusion
As it stands still
While I take snapshots
Of this memory
that
I will
tuck
away.
Pull that image,
this emotion,
from the dusty
cobweb of my mind.
In that moment
I will remember what is
Right with the world.
My girls.
I love you.
