Tears for the memories
sacrifices made to some
seen as simple duty to others
I watched
as he vowed
to faithfully uphold...
and felt proud
Scanning the past
through friends and family's faces
I smiled upon this triumph
of patience and good graces
I squeezed my mother's hand -
a knowing glance
I wept with devotion
to my father's commitment
a yearly move -
standard circumstance
leaving ex-boyfriends...
a smile escapes my lips
just at the right time...
Sigh of relief.
Smiles on their faces.
Surprise visit from my sister...
and tonight
the stars shined brighter
than they ever did...
Congratulations, Daddy. I am so proud of you. I love you.
