Narrative by Kay Clark. Joe Clark, HBSS, took this shot in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee of Roy McCrary on a fence in a field dreaming about his life in the hills of Tennessee. This picture is in Joe book published book "Back Home". Here is the poem in the book. I PLEDGE To loaf along Life’s highways To feel its shifting sands Climbs its hills, view its valleys And see its verdant Lands. To feast on bountiful harvests That grow along its way To watch the glowing sunsets That end its shining days. To greet each missing joyously To sing the livelong day, To laugh with happy Comrades, To while his life away. hbss
