I saw daddy crying
he was sitting on the couch
and he thought
no one was around.
But I stood in the doorway
as the tears fell
from his eyes.
I walked over to him
and kissed his cheek,
because mommy says
kisses make everything better.
And it must have worked
because daddy smiled
and hugged me
and told me he loved me.
But I already knew that.
I didn't understand
but the years passed and
I learned the lesson
all too well.
As I sat on my couch,
tears falling from my eyes.
I felt a little kiss on my cheek,
and I wrapped my arms
around my son
and told him I loved him.
And he told me he already knew that.
