A Line at a Time (#alaat) #17 - THE RESULTS!

Death awaits in a rusted field No longer useful or needed Rows and rows and rows and rows all churned I trudge through the freshly plowed fields knowing there is much work left for these tired old bones to do The tractor would rust and eventually decay, but she feared the memories never would Not yet ready to be put out to pasture...bitter irony prevails After Ma died, Pa couldn't bring himself to even work the fields; "What's the point?" he asked no one in particular Silent and cold until the heartbeat of Spring green shoots of life will be born anew in spring's splendor...

This really came together well. Love that there are some new writers, here on Soft Whispers. :-)

Great job!
