The Wood-Chopper
by Richard L. Provencher The wood-chopper takes a rest, his arms heavy from tired muscles. He touches his skin and feels stiffness, yet this effort will satisfy a need for exercise, and make sure children and a good wife will be warm by the fire during coolness of night. He returns to his duties and in the next hour he feels the busy wind keep him company so he may continue to finish the task of chopping his wood. In the evening after the fullness of food, all sing of their joy and the plenty which entered their home. Prayers of thanksgiving are soon heard from their family as all heads bow. Richard L. Provencher Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
