Driving Dad

it’s a special day

for both of us

he’s taking me somewhere

I’ve never been

but he knows I will like,

I’m not driving for once

know none of the details

times, places, which route

and the like

that’s very unusual for me

letting go of control, but

he’s confident, unflappable

I am like a package

being handled with care,

I never had the chance

to do this with my father

and I told my son this today,

so, we have made a pact

to seize this day and

many more while we can

before it’s too late.
