Focus
They were talking soccer
play positions
and strategies,
he'd knelt down next to her
created a little world of
just the two of them
and their talk.
He worked to balance coaching and fathering.
She was ecstatic about the upcoming game, "Daddy! Daddy!"
Her voice carried easily through the house, rising as many feet in
pitch as she was in height.
"Yeah, honey?" his face, alight with anticipation, welcomed a
break through moment of revelation about her position, attack
strategies, or focus on the game and what he got was, "There's a
squirrel on the trampoline!"
