oh little tractor

old and worn

thank you for adorning my day
with your presence

you think your days passed
as you see gigantic john deere
crisp and green unloaded in the
lot before you

ah but friend,
they have not, nor will they
ever see
what you have seen

they have not, nor will
ever
have the touch
of your owner’s hand upon them

to me, oh little one
you are much grander
much more beautiful
much more wise
