The Man that Always Ran

I remember when

My dad used to

Take us to Dinosaur Park

The T-Rex

Would roar it’s mighty roar

And we would

Scream in delight

And swing across

Vines as if the

Jungle has sprawled

Out before us

We were tangled in

Giggles on the drive home

As our dad looked

Back at us

With those soft eyes

That seemed to

Draw the world together

And it was if nothing

Would ever seem to

Fall apart

The glow in his eyes

Started to fade

As he just

Became my father

Just a name

And nothing more.
