Play catch with me daddy

Play catch with me daddy
 
The ball, red strings, white leather….
Looks so big to my little hands.
I lift it and it is heavy.
How can I throw this?
 
My glove is brown and leather.
My hand gets lost inside.
I can barely squeeze it shut.
How can I catch a ball?
 
I have watched you daddy.
I have seen you do it.
I want to be like you too.
I want to throw the ball fast as lightening.
I want to race to catch a ball like you.
I want to make it disappear in my glove daddy.
They never get by you.
 
Daddy, I am over here.
No over here daddy.
Daddy don’t you see me?
 
I want to play catch with you.
Show me daddy how to be like you.
Teach me to run like the wind.
Teach me to throw like a speeding bullet.
Daddy?
 
I am here daddy….
Won’t you come play catch with me?
Show me how to be a man someday daddy.
Show me the way.
 
Teach my about life.
Teach me about cars.
Teach me about girls.
I want to be like you.
 
Daddy, I want to be like you.
Play catch with me, please?
