Let Fatherhood be

i let Fatherhood be

i don't jitter and shake

nor crawl up in a ball

and fear the earthquake

oh no i do not! says old Dr. Suess

i don't run

i don't scream

i don't act like a goose!

i could sway and divide

i could lay down flat and wide

but this time

i scrape myself up off the floor

get back in the pan

and i'm ready for more...!

the pan might feel hot

it might stick to my feet

but to jump off the stove now

i'd still have raw meat

i came here to cook

to mature and to see

that though it might look differently

i am all that i see...

so here i am now

not one minute from now!

i ask what do i feel

and how tastes this meal?

well, on this menu

only one item is

and it's me

and it's me and it's me and it's me

so i think that today

that is just what i'll have

i'm not sure what it is

or what it all means

but i'm sure i'll find out

if i hang out in these beans....:-)

love to all,

j
