Felco 3’s
Melanie asked what I wanted for Father’s day
And in my mind I thought back wistfully
Of the happy opening of boxes with ties fine
Of little boys handmade cards signed
The good dinner of bacon wrapped chicken
All so undeserving
And since I no longer need the tie thankfully
Handmade boys now grown and gone sadly
Walking about the yard slowly
Daddy’s Swiss made Felco pruners with me
It occurred perhaps it time they retire
Preserve them for the possibility of future
Needing
Long after I’ve gone
Few recalling to whom they belonged
How they served so long
So I’ll see if Lowe’s or Amazon has the Felco3
With the rotating grip
Easy on the hand for less blistering
Store my fathers in a safe place
Perhaps with some written history
Who this man was we called daddy.
