Very Grateful for
Fathers
a long road of obedience in the same direction
patience to let everyone talk (his patience, not mine!)
honor and respect
hearing the words “we are all we need”
and receiving blessings
recognizing blessings as they are received
and a welcomed, pleasant surprise
in the mint-infused air of Sunday
To him the stars seemed like so many musical notes affixed to the sky, just waiting for somebody to unfasten them. ~Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
