#774 my dad

my dad never said i love you with his mouth
because he was so busy saying it with his life
my dad always washed the car for me before i went on any date
he worked hard 8-5 monday to friday to provide
he didn't say much but when he did
always worth hearing
did not believe in skipping to the second layer of chocolates
until the first one was done
was content leaving a book for supper
even if there were only two pages left in the last chapter
my dad lived the addage "a place for every thing, and a thing for every place"
he had dark fingernails from earning a living with his hands
my dad
