Darlene Powell He stands there in his silent strength, Old and battered with the years and the weather, But relenting not. His time edged face reflecting yet an inner glow, His nearness to the sun, the wind, the soil, His gnarled and work-worn hands Speak quiet volumes of the past. Hands that built a home from sod and forced A living from unwilling ground And tired old feet that walked a million miles Behind a plow. A stalwart heart that drew its hope from nature unrefined, And wavered not. Thru drought, thru floods, hail and blizzard too, His courage stayed, And he stands there triumphant in his 82 years, A lonely immigrant who dared to carve a future For his own.
