Supporting cast roles are good to have
In this over dramatized life
Where I get grabbed and shaken plenty enough as lead
So I gladly relinquish center stage
To be the third spear chucker on the right
For this occasion
This ceremonial passage of public commitment
A name changing game changer for my little girl grown
Barely out of the nest but wanting her own
Time compresses these moments
Then releases them
To float like balloons into clear skies overhead
Where the horizon is limitless and unbound
As two dreams crystallize into a single one
So I wait in the shadows, in the wings
For the cue to step onstage and throw that spear
Adding one small dramatic moment to the ritual dance
Called marriage
