Long to Hear "I Love You"
Posted: June 15, 2014
Looking beyond Dad's lips to his heart…
When his love was more acted than spoken,
when duty wore work clothes each day,
when pride in his offspring rode shotgun,
his heart spoke what words didn't say.
Dad's neighbors and friends can remember
his small acts of kindness and care.
His word became flesh (love with skin on)
as he found ways to help out and share.
Like those orchards surrounding Wenatchee,
what is picked is the proof of what grows.
Dad's love, like a honeycrisp apple,
was both shiny and sweet and it showed.
