The Lonesome Trucker

The Lonesome Trucker

A Poem by Michael G. Smith
"

missing my loved one upon the open road

"

Tender moments mercy need not be

When on a pillow slept alone sight unseen

No hand to hold nor reason a word to speak

So far from home a spirit lonely indeed


So mind does but toss and turn

Heart staving off a restless curse

Of miles, love across

A paved highway universe


And the trucker moves on

He rolls and rolls

Without a smile, and nothing but

A bandaged heart and a lonesome soul

Very true & good thing you were able to be there. You are welcome
You have captured the feeling of solitude that can be both a burden, yet a consolation, knowing that it is but an interlude in life's journey.
