maybe because i know the world i live in
a dad of three daughters
lends way to magic
there is a whimsical world
where imagination abounds
not a location to be found
but people who let everyone
play
they always welcome me
i am sometimes a king
i am sometimes a prince
i am sometimes a friend
and other times a foe
they enter the world unaware
it is almost never absent
they do not need me to be in itsometimes i catch them there alone
and let them be whoever they are
it is the world they love
it is the world i wish we always lived
it is always a strange question
in my daughter's world it does not matter
that is the world i live in
when the question is asked
i smile and sometimes say
"wow, i do not know what that means"
and i skip away
