Daddy is a (Fe)Male

We cried

Daddy

took me to watch his favorite movie as a kid

Its name

Man Of La Mancha

We sat

in the quiet theater

relaxing

waiting for it to start

Other kids

got on stage and did a small performance

"Teddies"

By a teenage in high school

They were

small bears dancing in the meadow

singing

about their lives

One of

the brown bears that lived there

Nalcha

Had lost her friend and ran away

Nalcha

was eventually found by the people she loves

and they

made a home for her in the meadow

The musical 

start with a beat and I

in awe

watched the poor man Don Quixote 

I loved

it with all the beauty and danger

with the

laughing woman and the dreams they held

"Dad maybe

I can write my own musical

and you

can help me write the songs?"

Dad nods

after the musical

and I

sit down and begin to write
