    Trucker Guy

    Like a modern day cowboy he'd load up in his seat
    He'll have to run hard just to compete
    The road is his love, his life and his home
    For twenty years now long has he roamed

    Each line on his face a story of their own
    'This one' he says comes from being alone
    The one over there...we'll who's to say
    I'm sure if it could talk it would have plenty to say

    For hours on end his mind drifts off
    To new places ahead....too bad he cant stop
    He looks in the mirrors to memories long passed
    The future he says is one he hopes that will last

    Home is where he lays his head
    Who knows where that might be
    He only has one thing on his mind
    This loads deadline is at three

    For miles on end his tires sing a song
    One he's heard before but always sings along
    The yellow stained fingers and the breath of caffeine
    'Every mile a new memory' he says with a gleam

    Mama and the kids depend on me
    They call me every night and keep me company
    The thoughts that we share...the visions in their heads
    Makes it all worthwhile, a trucker I'm proud to be!

    This is sweet. A man working hard for the ones he loves. It must be nice to see what's out there on the road. At the same time I'm sure it can be lonely & hard. Your write well. Keep on truckin'!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
