on the road in a big gas truck
by Mary Ellen Smithnever light enough.
the very early morning hours
wrap her cold arms
around him as he goes off to work
the warmth of the hot shower
steams wispily away
and the windshield turns to fog
from his first cup of coffee.
sermons go thru his head
music from the Christian station turned up
i know Jesus rides with him
in that great big gas truck 09/02/2005 Author's Note: My "little" brother drives a gas truck in the early morning hours.
