The other day
I was walking across the building at work
and I thought about our annual big family party
and
I imagined
my parents coming to help me
and pictured the two little boys
in the bounce house
and
laughing with them
and I imagined the look
in my parents' eyes
I welled up a bit
I had to force the thought of it away
it wouldn't do
to be seen
smiling
and crying
walking across the warehouse
and no
there's no guarantee that it'll be them
but the idea of it
make me unbearably happy
for just a moment
and I thought
yeah
yeah
yeah.
Smiling...
