Hands
Digging out the basement,
Shaking hands with every two by four,
Pounding nails,
Sawing boards,
Building cabinets.
Teaching me to tie my shoes,
Held and manicured by me.
Baiting a fish hook with worms,
Reeling in a trout.
Holding a book,
typing family histories,
Holding mine in the hospital before he died.
I miss you, Daddy.
Remembering you on Father's Day.
