Thank You Daddy

sometimes

my heart

is deeply sorrowful

and the missing you

aches inside of me

and I still wish

that you were here

to "get" my

weird sense of humour

to laugh with me at all

every time I smell

Old Spice

I think of you

and every time

I smell leather

so when I found

this little leather braid

play piece

in the lacing container

I wanted to use it

to have a piece of you

with me

the spirit piece

and the memories

are the best ones

but it gives me joy

to have a piece you made

added to it 

a piece that I made

and it reminds me of times

we spent together

making leatherwork

fighting sometimes

laughing sometimes

sharing creativity

and joy

it's a treasure

and a reminder

of your love

thank you
