Dusty Cards and Letters

Dusty cards and letters

cluttering shelves and drawers unknown

One day uncovering the treasure trove

that brings tears of healing to the

heart of a father in need of love,

acceptance, forgiveness, healing;

Old wounds now covered in the healing

poultices and salves of love and affection

placed there by those who never forgot

the touch of his hand, the pictures from his pen,

the keys to his heart; welcoming warming words

reach out and embrace the man who is

so deserving of the stored up love of his

children who now delight in his warm, gentle,

fatherly fingers as the reach up to wipe tears away

from eyes and say "Daddy's here now, it's going

to be better now" to a house now overflowing with love.
