Pa's Work

1/18/2010

Picture

Pa worked with heavy harness

Sturdy rugged, rough.

As a young boy he learned

How to work

And to be tough.

But sometimes, to harness each big horse,

It took a clever mind...

Not brute strength to lift it high,

But a pulley Pa did find.

Upon the backs the leather laid,

A load of weight not born,

But just to buckle and to hitch;

Then drive the team,

Wagon too,

Out to gather corn.

This is a poem taken from my poetry book, "Come Ride With Me".  It's almost ready to be published.  I want to let it cool a bit.  Look back over the work.  Rearrange just a few pictures and let a few people proof read it for me.

A wonderful poem about a father and how hard he works. This poem reminds me of my father. He is growing old now, but he worked hard through the years for our family. I am thankful to God for giving me all this time with my dad. He is 82 years old now, and I hope I have several more years with him. Thank you for writing such a wonderful poem.
