Firewhiskey Fic

Give me the long, straight road before me,
A clear, cold day with a nipping air,
Tall, bare trees to run on beside me,
A heart that is light and free from care.
Then let me go! – I care not whither
My feet may lead, for my spirit shall be
Free as the brook that flows to the river,
Free as the river that flows to the sea.
Olive Runner

Only a dad, but he gives his all

Only a dad, but the best of men.

And one salty tear
Of happiness escaped from my eye.
