But Why?

"When I get to it," I tell her

As she runs her fingers across the walls

The bubbles she blew are still hanging in the air

The tantrum she threw still ringing in my ears

For her there is only now

And she knows if Dad say's he will get to it

He will get to it

But why does she have to wait?

She'll just spin in circles

And sing under her breath

Ready for me to tap back in to our game

Why would anyone choose to not play?

Why?
