An Old Tractor

An Old Tractor

 

There was an old tractor

There beside a fence

A relic in a pasture

That was parked way back when

 

To us it was art work

That a farmer family saved

From days working mother earth

And finally retired one day

 

The metal had rusted long ago

But was admired still

There so close to the road

And still parked in its own field

 

There were blue bonnets in the scene

To make things colorful

And to pick one was to demean

The place so wonderful

 

The seat was still there

And the children took their turns

Going everywhere

As they gave the wheel a turn

 

And it began to rain

As we left the site

And our memories would remain

Of the tractor that survived

      I love love love old barns, tractors, haybailers sitting rusting .. they sing to me of times when we were closer to nature and I want everything to be back there.

        Thanks, Lorna. Rustic is beautiful. I've been fortunate to experience it in my life.
