“Daddy?”
“Yes Dear?”
“Can you read me a story?”
And so you picked up Eric Carle
To read me 'The Hungry Caterpillar'

“Daddy?”
“Yeah kiddo?”
“Can you read me a book?”
And so you picked up Shel Silverstein
To read me 'The Giving Tree'

“Daddy?”
“What's up?”
“Can you read me something tonight?”
And so you picked up JK Rowling
To read me 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'

“Daddy?”
“Yes?”
“Am I too old for you to read to me?”
And without a word you found Eric Carle on my messy bookshelf
To read to the fourteen-year old me 'The Hungry Caterpillar'.
