On The road again.
Memories rushing through my mind.
Just like a runaway freight train.
Sights and scenes shrined.
This time round not as a driver.
Yet still in a rig.
Imparting knowledge like McGyver.
Heading up this brig.
What a feeling.
Reliving days gone by.
This life is still appealing
Those days were an epic high.
But after twenty nine years on the road
Its best left to the new blood.
I cant reclaim the load.
Let them brave the flood.
Ill watch with eagle eyes.
Guide them were I can.
Set them free under the African skies.
And call them Kinsman.

This resonates with all of us who are near the end of our careers, or outfight retired. Time to give back. Time to love instead of being loved, time to help instead of being helped. And time to let go.
I love the closing: SET THEM FREE UNDER THE AFRICAN SKIES.

Dear Russell,
You should write your autobiographical account
of driving a big heavy truck. Most people do not
understand the dangers and the necessities
of delivering cargo.
I know people who do this. They have friends
who died on certain roadways, due to
the difficulties and the dangers of a large
foreboding vehicle.
A large sociological experiment, this life is.
I am thinking you would mix it with funny.
Peace! |
