Dad

Dad loves his family more than life itself,
though he never had the smarts before.
He is beginning to learn about blank stares,
eye-rolls, stark yes and no, I don't knows,
and when to let it go.
He is no longer too proud to understand
that we are defined by other factors,
more than just a product of his DNA,
although he still shovels the snow
even though the doctor said not to.
