One sweet day hovering over the highest peaks

My son and I shared a sacred moment only father and son know.

We sat on the high deck in the high sun and sucked and slurped watermelon.

We drenched ourselves in its juices

And delighted ourselves in its sweetness.

We ate with no thought of being full.

The sun shone.

We eagles soared above our heads.

We bathed ourselves in the sweet juices of life without inhibition.

We touched the face of our eternal love

And he said, “I like you daddy.  I like mommy and I like sister – nothing can hurt me.”

By this then I knew that my job as ‘dad’ was complete.
