And The Father Cried
The mother said quietly
“You’ve got this, Baby”
As she walked out
onto that stage.
I keep watching as they sing
as their voices soared
taking them to heights
beyond their dreams.
The chair turned.
The crowd screams
with delight and
the fear melted away
from the singer’s eyes.
The mother screams.
The sister squeals
as she jumps up and down.
And the father?
Ah, the father cried.
