Very touching poem, Nick!
My heart goes out to you and Jan..

I sure hope things look up for us in this home town. This is a very descriptive and accurate poem. Nice rhyming, by the way.

Powerful stuff. I also thought trucking would be a hard life. I admire how you make it work.

I hope things get better soon. It is bad all over, and gas prices so high we are all in troublel

Nick,
I thought you got lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I really like this. Its got a lot of bounce to it, and You’re experience in trucking shines through. Perhaps one day you can retire that truck and just to your hearts desire. I’ve had many truckers in my family and they all agree its a very lonely low paying job. Hope one day you can stay home with Jan. By the way, Write me!!! Want to hear about your new job!!! Great Poem!!!

You have been in my prays Nick. Up here in alaska, they have been doing several special news reports on the trucking and how its just not working out, As I’m sure you can imagine trucking is pretty important up here in the Majestic Ak. I’ll keep you in my prays. A really nice piece here…flows and as Randy said a lot of bounce. Its nice to read some more of your work finally.

Thanks everyone and it’s great to be home!

Nick, I’m sorry to hear that. I know how much you enjoyed driving. With a war on, I daresay it’ll get worse. Even food prices are going up because Diesel is so high. I hope it will all level out soon.

Thank you Anne…and yes, you’re right about it getting worse, it will here because it’s an election year…everyone is scared and waiting to see who’ll be our next president and what they’ll do.

you and jan are always in my prayers i do belivethat trucking is a hard with gas the way it is now i dont know what the future hold

Beautiful words Nick! Sometimes life is hard, I knew a cabbie in Sydney who wrote poetry and had some books printed and sold them to his fares! Maybe you could sell your books somewhere on your route, truckstops or cafes. Just a thought…Love & light to you.

Thank you Johnnie and Lucy! We can always use prayers!
None of my stories have been published yet Lucy…it’s on my list of “to do” projects. But thanks so much for the idea!
God’s blessings to you my friend.

Great poem, you have always had a way with words. Can’t wait for the election year to be over. I am glad for the warmer weather! That’s the only plus right now. My prayers are with you too. Take Care.

Your story is touching and told with much heart and feelings. I too know things get worse before they will hopefully start looking up. I wish all good things for you and your family!

Take good care!

Thank you so much Dawn and Francie.

I’m so sorry, big bro. I’m praying for ya.

It must be so hard for you. I hope things start to get better soon.

Thank you M.C. and Dee.
M.C. how’s school, kidlet?

Nick, you really have a good heart. Your poem always reflects your good soul. Gentle and longing for the love piece of poetry.

Thank you MysLykeMeeh! That means an awful lot…

Nick,

Good poem. I feel your grief over a good job now bad. I feel the same way about nursing. I have been a nurse for 27 years and all I want to do is quit and write and write and write. My brother was a trucker for many years so I feel I am part of the family. Hang in there man and keep writing. One day we will all make a living from our creative side.
