You surprised your dad when
You remembered my day this morning,
When wiping sleep
From your eyes
And after stretching into
Your Popeye shirt and gray
Sweatpants you even
Recalled my two gifts
The first—a piece
Of candy, an exception
To my sweet-fast
During Lent
The second—a wrapped
Present you handmade
The night before,
Two quarters bundled in TJ stickers
You then asked what you
Could use to make my
Card and how you could
Create an envelope
When I dropped you
Off at preschool,
I had no idea that I’d be
Given yet another surprise
For I was only expecting
One card when I saw you again,
And what I received were
Three you had created
They said I love you
And I love you, my son
