Worn, Strong, And Beautiful
by @gwyneth-ivy
My father wears
leather work boots
they are tough and worn
with thick but thinning soles
My father has
calloused hands
they are thick and strong
from years of work and guitar
My father plays
an old guitar
it's beautiful and cracked
and comes to life at his touch
My father has
a big heart
as worn as his boots
strong as his hands
and more beautiful than his old guitar
