Of ink and paper.

You are still here. 
I know it, 
And feel it all the time. 

Today I see it clearly. 
A small card found in your desk. 
To me...

Both written and signed
Months before you were taken away
From this world.

You knew you were leaving.

And you knew me.

The way I would feel. 
The things that I would need. 
What would make my day 
Bearable, and knowing too, 
what would break it apart. 

A giving tree full of love, 
Emerged from words 
Written of the heart.

Like a lovingly planted warm embrace, 
That surrounds and binds me...
To the here and now, 
And gives me strength, 
To live until then.

Seven years it has been.
My rock. My warmth.
Merry Christmas Dad.
