With the Kids

Synopsis: There's something about the sincerity of emotions a caring father has for his kids. The kid comes out of him when he's spending time with them.
Happiness is unmatched when my time is matched with the kids
Hide and seek; it be hard to find out where they hid
Their energy says they want to be around me
It's one of the few times I feel completely free
Ant and I are playing football; Ari's wearing out Crayolas
Soon after, we're hitting up Uber; destination: Lake Eola
When we arrive, the park is flooded with soccer moms
But my focus is on the kids; to anything else I won't respond
Hunger is setting in; here we come Publix deli
Ant and I ordered subs while Ari's chicken tenders are served already
As quick as the food's made is as quick as it hits the belly
Punctuality is key, so I check the time on the celly
They'll now go back with their mom because tomorrow's a new week
I'm keeping my composure trying not to be viewed weak
Jealousy's avoided even though they spend more time with her
Can't wait until the weekend because this weekend was a blur
