Where Are You Now?

I watch as you stare out of the window.
The blank stare tells me you are not here.
Where are you now?

Are you...
The child running down the track at school?
A graduate tossing his cap in the Vermont sky?
The collegiate wrestler sweaty with victory?
A waiter expertly balancing his tray?
The new father holding his newborn daughter?
A father proud watching his sons on the baseball diamond?
The teary eyed dad dancing to "Daddy's Girl" at your daughter's wedding?
A brother inhaling the fresh county air at your sister's farm?
The master of grocery shopping at a local market?
A stockpiler of food for the perfect holiday dinner?
The celebrant of your 40th wedding anniversary with family and friends?
A swimmer in a lake with your children?

Where are you now?
You smile and I know
That you are right where you belong.
