Our Father

Posted on October 22, 2018October 23, 2020 by Matt Beard

Tag: Published in Painting the California Coast: Volume One

Our father
Kept us moving
Even though
We stopped a bit too often
To read the signs
And ponder
Their meanings

When it was time to move on
We would often
Have to push with all of our might

Barefoot
On the rough pavement

Our father
Drove a Volkswagon
