a Man.


A man.

You grow up getting carried by your father.

He carries you when you can’t.

And when you can, he carries you again.

To show you that someone will.

He prays, that one day you will have strength.

To carry yourself.

And one day, if you understand.

You will carry your son.

And the day he walks on his own.

You pray, that one day he’ll carry you.
