There will always be another day

A chance to just sit, and play

A full sixty seconds with no distraction

To cherish the moment – give more than a fraction

Of  time and attention to my littlest fans

Let them know they’re important, even more than my bands

To play with some Legos or a Calico Critter

But instead I check updates and hang out on Twitter

I am sorry girls – I’ve failed you and all this time passed

You’re growing up quickly and the time, it elapsed

Looking back won’t help now, for those days are fleeting

I must live in the moment, before they are leaving

And cherish the moments although they have changed

For being a daddy is a difficult game
