One Poem by Zachary Foster

Ditch Digger

Working all day in toil and sweat
With a pick ax and shovel in the dirt
Is a young ditch digger.
Laboring in the broiling sun
And heat radiating off the grass,
The young man breaks into the sod
And throws the clods of dirt
Into a heap of earth nearby.
By his calloused, soil covered hands
He earns his bread and keep,
Not by his wits
But by strength of will
He makes his living.
