Daddy...
Tanya Gutierrez 1953 (Texas)
His eyes were blue and his hands were rough,
covered permanently in the ink with which he painted...
Wood fantasies came to life,
as his visions took their first breath...
I can't do what he did with what he touched,
but I can appreciate the artistry...
Daddy ~ always
