    Default The Old Fella Out At Buck Creek


    Hello all. Just thought I would share something I wrote yesterday. I am adding a pic of the Fella I am writing about as well.

    The Old Fella Out At Buck Creek

    There is an old fella out at Buck Creek
    He's a little hard of hearing so be loud when you speak
    He's lived many years and has seen many things
    He's as good as an Angel but without the wings
    Sit with him a while and many stories you will hear
    Stories of the War, the Drought, & to him things that are dear
    His body looks feeble and a little weak
    But watch him work and you will think he is at his peak
    He goes to the pasture and gives his cattle some feed
    Then he gets on his tractor and plows and plants some seed
    When he is done, he looks around with a smile
    Then he thanks God for letting him be around a while
    He walks in his home, which he was born in
    With never a frown, but only a grin
    I visit with him as often as I can
    For he is a very interesting man
    When I talk to him, knowledge is what I seek
    Because that's one heck of a Fella out at Buck Creek

    Father of 4, that was good!!! I really enjoy hanging around those old guys like that. They've lived in a circa that I sometimes wish I had lived in.
