For two months now
Your work progresses
On a house for me
Or we, once abandoned
Breathing life again
Feelings shown in tearing out
Gutting the old, hauling away
Unneeded debris, starting clean.

The straight line of a wall
A true measure of
What's left unsaid
An even floor for
Sure footing, stumbles
Far less likely
Rooms come into view
With your careful
Attention to detail.

You labor on daily
The sweat of your brow
As your arms flex
Under the weight of
Heavy boards lifted
Keeping perfect balance
As you work, a feat
To see, not unnoticed by me.

I plot the layout of
Rooms, colors, painting
What goes where
When we're done
You, far less interested
In the gloss, the make-up
Knowing you have provided
A solid foundation.

Even with your voice silent
Your work shows clearly
An ability to follow through
With an end result that's
Pleasing to us both.

Not Said

What is not said
is that which cannot
be told in the seen and audible.
It is translated to the heart
and measures what is true.
It is in the knowing
where a heart builds the lifetime.
Welcome Home.
