The phone lit up. "Dad." I looked at it... Then looked away. "I'll call him back After work." I never did. Saturday morning. Soccer at ten. I made a promise... Then canceled again. He waved When I pulled away. I still remember His little face. I kept believing There'd be more time. Tomorrow always Won the fight. I MISSED IT! CHASING SOMEDAY! WHILE LIFE KEPT SLIPPING AWAY! I MISSED IT! ONE DAY AT A TIME! I WAS SO BUSY BUILDING A FUTURE... I LEFT MY LIFE BEHIND! Mom sent a picture. "Look how we've changed." I smiled... Then closed my phone. The next time I looked that close... There was one less Chair at home. Nobody stole Those years from me. I traded them... For meetings. Deadlines. Overtime. I MISSED IT! THE LAUGHS! THE HUGS! THE LITTLE THINGS I THOUGHT COULD WAIT! I MISSED IT! BUT NOT AGAIN! TODAY IS WORTH MORE THAN SOMEDAY HAS EVER BEEN!
