It’s never easy for me to stay still
Sitting with a straight face against my will
I want to play
In this summer day
Looking out the window imagining stuff
Staying indoors with Dad is so tough
I want to hop
In this summer non-stop
Dad hands me a phone so I won’t moan
That’s not the thing that I would own
I want the clouds
And I want to go out
I wonder when dads actually grow up
Wishing the child in them would show up
So I can play
In this summer day

Beautiful one Frank.

What a though, Frank! Surely, we must all cling to the child inside of us.
