Mr. Fix-It

by Steven Layne

Verses for Dad's Heart by Steven L. LayneDad’s not so good with hammers;
He’s not the best with saws.
With doors that creak or pipes that leak
He’s really a lost cause.

He’s scary with a power drill;
With nuts and bolts he’s bad!
But when my heart needs big repairs,
There’s no one like my dad.
