Father Sam

i married a man who

reads the instructions

and saves the manuals.

a numbers guy,

balanced equations and crossword puzzles,

answers exact.

as dad, he is love expressed in terms of stalwart practicality

multiplied by infinity times six, and, like the universe, ever-expanding.

randomized grilled cheeses on demand

and hit or miss puns equal to, or greater than,

truly home.
