Pillar Of Support Poem by soren Barrett

Pillar Of Support

Standing bowed, bent with age
coarse, weathered gray
with no other to assuage
their burden of the day

Yet faithful to duty
they shoulder the weight of brothers
no longer a thing of beauty
tattooed by the abuse of others

Could be your father or any old man
neighbor, a gracious host
or any other than
but no, my house's corner post
