This is not a garden blog, but you might see an article concerning gardening. It is a blog about me and the cultivation of my life. This is a place where I air my opinions and ideas. There will be stories about what is happening or has happened. I like to write poems, some will be good and some will be bad. I am never bored, I hope you won't find what I write about boring. Thank you for sharing time with me.

FATHER'S DAY, A DAY OF HIS OWN.

This is my Dad, an entrepreneur,
A master of most trades,
If there's something he needs,
He can figure out how it's made.

When I was little he would say,
"Think about it, see what it needs",
He was there with a solution,
Of how to complete the deed.

When we're little, we're held and nurtured,
Our hurts are bandaged when we fall,
As we grow a father's roll changes,
He's the adviser and friend we call.

When working my dad is the happiest,
Sitting, doing figures, at a desk is fun,
But give him a rake or hoe,
And see the smile when he is done.

Then there are times at a sewing machine,
Cutting fabrics for drapes and linings,
That old living room chair got a second life,
When a new chair cover he was designing.

Making things from scratch is what he likes,
Fun for my Dad is making things right,
He loves a challenge of something new,
Including jigsaw puzzles at night.

He's sees beauty in the children he made,
Each with a multitude of talents home grown,
They have given him grands and greats,
He's the laird of this clan of his own.

The only present I can give my Dad,
I endeavor everyday to live,
With happiness and lots of love,
This is my gift to him I give.

Thank you Dad for the life you gave to me,
Thank you for all you have done,
Most of all thank you for the memories,
Like the ones, building balsa airplanes for fun.

Lots of Love from your first born.
