The Way Forward

It has been a fear of mine
A half decade and more:
What will happen should
Phil be incapacitated?

And then, when it happened,
I was too ill to care.

One day, two, the cows have grazed
Their paddock, good boys
Going out to water once a day,
Without complaint.

But watering is one thing;
Moving cows is another.

Phil figured that a small
Utility vehicle
Could get him around,
Like a wheelchair for a farm.

We had looked at them for years,
But the time was never right to buy.

In the morning we did due diligence:
Craigslist, friend, dealer, rental;
Prayer.
And then we went out.

Hours later, we had the vehicle for Phil
That will prevent his imprisonment.
