Three Days

Three more days... Then I'll know where you stand. Well... technically I already do. I don't really need a judge to tell me, too. But bureaucracy says that I do. Three more days... Then, we'll be on our way, Breathing a little bit easier Day by day. Oh, I'm sure your ego has something to …

Hold On

"It's just you and me." That's what you say. I stand and watch you laugh and play. "Come on! Let's go!" Alright, hold on. I want to stay and watch you for just a minute more. "You see me?" Yes, I do, my funny little guy. I'm so proud of you. And I just want …
