Let's Go

 Let's go get in the car and drive, little ones

You do not know tomorrow is tomorrow 

Because I pretend it is just another day.

Today let's get our toes in the sand and make like I don't use your father's birth as a password

Like it is not something that evades me and then plagues me daily

A loss that keeps locking parts of me from me partly or fully away.

Let's drive toward the water, little ones

We will dig our toes into the sand

And I will pretend I don't think of it as that same land.

All his grief and sadness burned out of his body to dust, given to us in the smallest urn

I yearn to take this day as a turning point, to turn my own grief

into a sandcastle and watch the water wash over it and take it all away.

Let's go, let's drive, lets go.
