Parni Says Let's Go

Coffee's in the cup before the sun's awake. Map on the table — what'll we make? Lincoln's still dreaming, Rayleo yawns — Parni's already at the door.

Parni says LET'S GO! Parni says WHY NOT NOW? Parni says LOOK at this thing — Parni says HOW? Lincoln, Rayleo, baby, c'mon — Parni says LET'S GO!

She sees the world like an open road, Asks the question I didn't think to ask. What's underneath? What's holding it up? Parni picks the world up to look.

Parni says LET'S GO! Parni says WHY NOT NOW? Parni says LOOK at this thing — Parni says HOW? Lincoln, Rayleo, baby, c'mon — Parni says LET'S GO!

What if we drove — what if we walked — what if we just kept going till the road ran out? What if we asked — what if we paused — what if the answer is bigger than we thought?

The window's open, the morning is wide. She's already standing on the other side. Two little boys grab their boots and run — Parni's the reason we GO at all.

Parni says LET'S GO! Parni says WHY NOT NOW? Parni says LOOK at this thing — Parni says HOW? Lincoln, Rayleo, baby, c'mon — Parni says LET'S GO!

Two little boys and me on the road, trying to catch the one out front — Parni says let's go.

Happy Mother's Day, Parni.
