[hometext] => dedicated to all us truckers in stormy weather and for those not getting home for Christmas this year
[bodytext] =>   It is a long road home honey. Afraid I wont make it back. The roads are all closed there is noway to turn back. It is a long road home truckers. Ice and snow covered passes. Chain law in effect, cold wind blowing whistling through the cracks. Road are all closed up once more. Truck stops filled to the brim. Chatter over cups of coffee Wide eyed watching the weather news. Cold and aching bones. Weary of dragging those chains. A few heads laid upon the counter. Ms Winter whooped us again. Kids crying into the phone. They want mama and daddy back home. Christmas is round the bend The mountains not letting them in. A few tears come to some eyes. It is enough to make even the strongest trucker cry. So the family out on the road. All talk together proclaiming, "it is sure a long road home" this year....... Getting stuck in the truck stop parking lot. Spinning out going round the corners. Making no headway today. Lord have mercy it is a long road home. PS. We made it back to Portland Christmas Day after fighting storms for well over a week. There were many who did not make it home for Christmas, this poem was for all of them. Heart felt prayers to the family of the trucker who wrecked and was killed Christmas Eve, it brought tears to many eyes. Rest in peace trucking brother.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
