THREE MEN

By Jean Mclean
One man walked forward briskly eyes downcast.
Thoughts far away from any objects passed.
And woke one find himself alone,
His ewes turned, inward and his heart a stone
One man looked upward when the skies gray
And gimpsed a the close OF day,
And all his tasks farer guse,
Because the star-dust shown full on his eyes.
One yoked beneath a heavy load,
And had to keep his eyes upon the road,
And yet the thrill Of life coursed through him still
For wild flowers bloomed around his easement still.
