In His Truck

  He rides in his truck; she works in the field.
In his truck, he's king of the long road
Time doesn't stand still, in the truck time flowed
Early morn out in the garden, she kneeled
Nature and God to her each day was revealed
When life got stressed, problems solved at crossroads
He rides in his truck

She gathered the food, prepared the large yield
Cooked their meals, preserved, froze, pickled boatload
She's now home, not in the field, time has slowed
Time for him is sealed, as he keeps his eyes peeled
He rides in his truck.

Valsa George Date: 10/16/2022 7:12:00 PM Love this family consisting of a hardworking husband and wife. They don't have too many aspirations, but find joy in the fulfillment of their simple daily pursuits and lead a happy life. Now life has naturally slowed for them with age. Beautifully written, Sara.

However, life's demands keep them from ever fulfilling their dreams. Dreams are good even if they never become real. Your comments are spot on. Thanks for adding your interpretation to my comments.

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 10/16/2022 5:55:00 PM Sara, your poem is so beautiful, about such a strong hardworking man, the glimpse back through time and though aging, still alert. My dad had a truck, I purchased it a few years ago, it was one of his prized possessions. This poem resonated with me, I love it so much!

Your visit is spectacular. Sara

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/16/2022 8:37:00 AM Looks like all he can do is ride in the truck. At least he is there for emotional support, but I would just ask to stay home and watch tv!! She is doing all the work and that's sad to me but seems to be what happens when one partner is disabled with time. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 10/16/2022 11:51:00 AM Yep!! You have him figured out. LOL..Time changes all things. Thanks for dropping by. Sara
