Artisan

Hands softened by diesel oil Strengthened by daily toil Scarred by physical work Lie helpless while they talk Softly of time and age and The shifting of life's sand The artisan listens sadly Sixty years so badly wanted Fifty nine years are granted His life ends that terrible day He has no reason to stay.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
