Thinking of you, Dad

Fuzz, Specs, Notch, Dum-dum, Beauty

are a few of their names,

not like they really know them.

But visit me on a daily basis

they do and a couple even take

peanuts from my fingers ever so gently.

There was one day though, that Fuzz

thought my toe was a really big peanut,

he didn't get far with it.

Around and thru the trees they frolic,

chasing each other,

hanging upside down and stretching.

My dad brought me to feeding the

wild birds and squirrels.

I think of him often while spending time

with these clever creatures.

And I smile.
