I missed him today,
there were none of his rainbows,
no phone ringing,
no hugs,
no whispers of what would happen at the line of scrimmage,
no photos that I could keep for longer than us and know it at the time,
no binoculars,
no yellow cotton short sleeved shirts or baby powder,
no navy jacket or khakis,
no hats with embroidery,
no leaves covering his sign,
but there would be again
one day,
one day around the bend
So deeply personal and heartfelt
