At the beach, pressures on
Dad in trunks and vest
Four years old, todays the day
He gives me my big test
Picking up a beach ball
Red, green, yellow, blue
He throws it at my feet
Wonders what Ill do
Do I kick it back?
Beautifully struck!
Hes dying to get his son
Into a football strip
Or run away to build a castle
And precipitate the end
Of our relationship
