John's Tree

~ Their Dad ~

Not a famous painter, but he loved

to capture action in a hasty sketch to

catch the baby dumping his spaghetti

save a vacation moment or draw a silly

birthday card

He’d sketch next year’s garden

lay out  a new kitchen cabinet

explain old dreams on napkins

design a lovely Christmas tree

or simply think in illustrations

on the back of an envelope

Scraps of paper now a treasured

Legacy of Love
