Dad (03.07.23 - 02.01.09)

No word captures

you except as you were,

spring, summer, fall, winters

of your life, and our lives -

busy, alive.

You hummed, whistled, softly sang,

caring, doing, after so much digging,

plowing, sowing, praying.

I know so much of you

from how you were with me, one

of my creators.

Your collection of ribbons,

nails, scraps, screws -

things with purpose

still unknown.

What a man leaves -

a worn billfold, a wedding ring,

old watch

hold such memory, artifacts

of days, of love,

of time gone by.

Those were the days, he'd say.

Now, home.
