Look at the painter man's
tan and weathered face.
{No disgrace}
Lines to match all
the roads he's traveled.
Lines so easy to trace.
He started painting
the steel at such
a young age;
instilled the life
of freedom deep
within his veins.
{he's not ashamed}
He's lost so much
with the life
that was once home.
Out on the road lonely
ahhhh but never alone.
He's found family
afar,
traveling brothers
{some...drinking partners}
all living this dream
of freedom
on the high steel.
Thrill seeker touching sky
I cannot imagine how it must feel.
How many times brother
have you said you'd retire
{liar}
You can't stop
it's part of what you do.
Reaching for the top.
It defines you
Free
Weathered
Head in the clouds
Painter Man
it's the life you command.
Dedicated to Paul, who every Winter says "I'm done" and every Spring........ he's on the road again.

Wow Laura this is excellent...
Maybe if he gets a ticket to Reykjavik, Iceland or the Arctic this way spring won't roll around so quick.
Well Done

| Yes I can relate to this. I know a man who says this every month or so. He is edging on 75 now, and still not slowing down. Nice dedication to a hard and maybe stubborn, not in a nasty sense worker. Loved it. Sue x |

Excellent dedication poem, Laura. I never thought that those things needed painting till your poems educated me. It just goes to show that characters follow the lifestyle, whether it's a carnival, a ship or power poles!

Work sometimes get in your blood and you can't quit. You mean it when you say:" I've had it and this is the end." Come time to start again and there you go. Back into the line.
