asleep by the door
a ball slips from his hand
awaiting his dad
To be a father forges bonds that I could never understand until I became one. Thank you, Rini, for your gracious thoughts.
I picture a movie scene with your words. We do not like to disappoint children with the fun things of life that bring families together. But sometimes it cannot be helped. Heartfelt words.
Thanks, Lyn. Yes, sometimes the disappointment made evident in a moment brings changes that are necessary. And sometimes it cannot be helped.

This is a tender picture, Neal, and a good use of senryu. -Glen
