he works hard
and loses everything
he works harder
and loses more
he still smiles
really big
ear to ear
slightly crooked
he’s a little insecure
but it’s beautiful
and everyone he knows
knows it
a smile
filled with care
and love
and years of
pain and growth
and happiness
of course
“is your dad ever mad”
no
he’s a happy man
“your dad’s a happy man”
yes
he’s a happy man.
