FOLLOWER

My father worked with a horse-plough,His shoulders globed like a full sail strungBetween the shafts and the furrowThe horses strained at his clicking tongue.

An expert.He would set the wing,And fit the bright steel-pointed sock.The sod rolled over without breking.At the head rig,with a single pluck

Of reins,the sweating team turned roundAnd back into the land.His eyeNarrowed and angled at the ground,Mapping the furrow exactly.

I stumbled in his hob-nailed wake,Fell sometimes on the polished sod;Sometimes he rode me on his backDipping and rising to his plod.

SONS & FATHERS

I wanted to grow up and plough,To close one eye,stiffen my arm.All I ever did was followIn his broad shadow round the farm.

I was a nuisance,tripping,falling.Yapping always.But todayIt is my father who keeps stumblingBehind me,and will not go away.

FOLLOWERTRIBUTE TO THE PARENTS FOR THE LOVE AND CARE THEY BESTOWED ON YOU….

THANK YOU
