Garage Notes: 15-Second Poems from Florida Dads

We asked local dads with kids to share a poem for their little racers. We kept it simple and quick — just enough to capture the real emotion without overthinking it. Here’s what we got.

“Little Hands, Big Wheel”
You grab the shifter, I grab your juice. One day you’ll drive — for now, I’ll cruise for both of us.
— Mike Kissimmee
“Sunday Drive”
Windows down, your laugh louder than the engine. That’s my favorite sound.
— Carlos Orlando
“Tool Time”
You hand me the wrench backward, but I don’t mind. We’re still building something right.
— Drew Altamonte Springs
“Florida Heat”
Sweat, sunscreen, sticky ice cream fingers. Still worth every mile.
— Brian Tampa
“My Co-Pilot”
You call every car a race car. You’re not wrong, just early.
— Alex Lakeland
“Passed Down”
My dad showed me oil changes, I’ll show you patience. Both keep things running.
— Sean Palm Bay
“The Keys”
One day, I’ll hand them to you. Not to drive — to remind you where you came from.
— Matt Miami
“Cars & Coffee & You”
You spill cocoa on my hoodie, laugh about it all day. Best meet ever.
— Jake Ocala
