My Dad’s Eulogy

my dad’s hands

best symbolize

his essence

~

if you’d ever

shaken my dad’s hand

you’d know

what I mean

~

his big hands,

thick, strong fingers

tough, worn skin

working hands

~

he wore them with a gritty

honesty, grace and dignity

~

Appointments

my daughter’s grandpa

scared

of tests

~

cancer

ignoring

provides comfort

~

you need to know

~

you’re the only grandpa

she has now

~

she loves you

we need you

~

next day

calls made

more appointments

~

I’ll be there

you won’t be alone

we love you

~
