Dad has just returned from spending a wonderful week with Jane and her family in Cape Cod. On their last day, as Jane signed the guestbook, Dad wrote this incredible poem!
Seen from the porch
The Scene is serene
It’s where sea and sky blend
And sailboats bob by.
The breeze ruffles Jane’s hair
As she reads, then looks up and smiles
Ah, that smile that so beams
Almost always, it seems.
Lift pencil from paper
For no more need be said
Too many words hide the story
Detracting from the glory.
I’m about to leave my house to pick Dad up and bring him for his B12 shot before we take our walk. I couldn’t resist posting this poem first, along with some photos I found while he was away. We have been going for walks together, as adults, for a very long time!
The Great Swamp. Gramps with Mike on his shoulders
Always the teacher, pointing out interesting things….

Always curious, always excited about discovering new treasures that nature offers us! What a Dad!
