The Last Road Poem by John JP

The shiny side up
The hammer down
Between the lines
To another town

Your hands off the wheel
All the miles in the mirror
Your foot off the gas
No more loads to deliver

That big rig parked
The brake is set
The final deadline
You faithfully met

The final gear
The final climb
That Jake-brake used
For the final time

The last fluid checked
The last tire kicked
The last entry logged
The last seatbelt clicked

Breaker! Breaker! Trucker
It's time to shut her down
Jesus is waiting
With your golden crown

Dispatched to heaven
The final run
The journey completed
The work is done

Dispatched to heaven
There's no higher call
No greater load
No bigger haul

Come in Trucker!
There's one last road
One last trip
To the streets of gold

You've traveled the land
From shore to shore
And now it's time
To enter heaven's door
