I have this picture of my father
It’s one of my favorites
He is standing next to a small waterfall
On a bridge
Over a river
Wearing his ball cap
And fishing vest
With his pole in his hand
Ready to go
The peace in his smile and eyes
In this photo
Are priceless
They give me much comfort
I keep this picture in a frame over my desk
Sometimes
I talk to him
As if I was there
Standing on the bridge
Holding the camera
Sometimes I can hear
The roar of water
And sometimes
I can believe
I hear his voice
Answering me back
