My father was an award-winning photographer. These are some of his many photos.
Blazing leaves
Remind me of your lens
That captured fall
With your glorious sight
Crumpled clothes
Remind me of your hand
That ironed diligently
For the day and night
Gentle massage
Reminds me of your forehead
That I pressed with my hands
Till you smiled in sheer delight
Family dinners
Remind me of your humor
That clung to your stories
Like icing in every bite
Being alone
Reminds me of your warning
That will ring in my ears
"Don't ever lose sight"
Humbling sadness
Reminds me of your strength
That lifted us daily
Teaching us wrong and right
I looked for you in the clouds
And did not find you in the grey
Now I feel you are by me
As the sun sets for the day
We recover with your guidance
Humor and caution
Resolute with moving on
With enormous passion
