My Story

Remembering Dad

A soft scratch of whiskers pressed on my face.
Bear hugging squeezes, a rough gentle grace.
Running and racing, letting me win.
Falling asleep, my cheek on his chin.
The strong smell of work, of tools, of sweat.
Of dust and rust, I'll never forget.
After shave lotion, paint cans and pails,
tie clips, cuff links, and galvanized nails.
Basements, attics, out-of-date ties,
oceans and rivers fished at sunrise.
Whiskers grew grayer, but scratched all the same,
and wrinkles were etched on a more gentle frame.
Oh how I long for that rough whiskered kiss,
and that sweet scratch of Love for dearly I miss...
