For Dad...

A life should speak colors –


A tapestry of hues;


Magenta, rich burgundy,


Bright yellow specks


And oceans of blue.


 


A life should speak feelings –


A heart full of depth;


Love, laughter, empathy


All catching emotional breath.


 


A life should speak service –


A hand extended out;


Reach, touch, give to another


That’s what life’s about.


 


A life should speak journeys –


The inner one most of all;


Character built on essentials,


Not the superficial,


Makes a person tall.
