The small lizard lay incognito As I walked in for a sandwich I took out some bread, cheese, and pepperoni too, And as I failed at making a pizza, there it was, the no longer hidden lizard, Inside the empty vase, Which my dad had left outside. I remember a time in need of guidance, I remember a time in need of orders, Where I did what I was told, Where I knew no better, But a new time has come, It is time to grow older. Is it time to grow older? I wonder, where was I? How did it all go by this fast? I'm still in school, I'm still young, I'm still a kid, who tells his father, don't leave the vase out, the lizard's may come in. The roles will change, From father to son, to son to father, and although not yet, I know at some point, My parents will need of me, As I needed of them, For what seems like, an eternity. So as my father walks by, I sit here wondering, Will he ever go back, Will he ever forget? Will I ever have to say... No Dad, Don't play with fire. qk
