Dad?" Jesus asked.
At our age the imagination

To all those who care, 
In the hours waking,
It started when we were little kids.
I ask the impossible: love me forever.
Fare well we call to hearth and hall
Sending out the Disciples

Damn, I love you, but this is crazy,
You shall be my roots and
I tramp the perpetual journey
