Amish Buggy

I leaned against a fence in grassy field and wondered of this cart’s history.

If the seat and wheels could talk, they’d tell me a great mystery.

Oh, imagine roads less travelled on a quiet sunny day,

And the clopping gait of horse in front and the music from his neigh.

In younger days, the driver made that horse obey and also had her hustle.

With reins in hand, the old man slumps and hardly moves a muscle.

One day the buggy lost its use and was hauled here by the wife.

She climbed upon the seat and dwelled on memories and on life.

The old cracked leather echoed splats from tears that day she cried.

The buggy lost its partners the day the horse and old man died.
