Driving Truck

About five years ago my husband and I made a friend. Just as we have grown and transformed so has our friend. He is a fellow "Dead Head" enthustiast for my husband to bond with. Almost two years ago he left Michigan and went to Colorado. Because of his free spirit so close to that of my husbands he left a hole. Recently though he has taken us across the United States via Swift. His daily calls have been a a bright spot in our days as we get the daily weather report 1000 miles away and being my husbands closest friend sharing Sirius radios "Jam On" with each other has given new excitement to their friendship. Also I know that my husband yearns greatly to travel and misses the road very much. So he travels vicariously through Tim. This fanatasy travel will have to do just for a short time longer. Sixteen months left before our adventue begins. Well here is my half attempt to honor our friend Tim and all the truck drivers out there.

ODE TO THE TRUCK DRIVER

From coast to coast their big wheels go.

Bringing us things to enjoy and love.

The truck driver goes hundread of miles

on all kinds of roads through all

kinds of weather.

Their trucks are their home day and night.

The next stop may bring a cusine delight.

They see City after City and all its hype.

But never really stop to enjoy the sight.

So hats off to the truck drivers and

their endless plight.

May the roads be clear and a vacation in sight.
