Down on the farm!
God so loved the
world that He gave us precious life
Like
ole Adam and Eve He made husband and
wife
Century-eons
brought us to this Intelligent diameter
Sacred
ancestors mentored progeny within a parameter
“Lucky!” We are in the inherited collective result
Challenge
us do what they did might be an insult
Intrepid! These early 20th
century “modern” pioneers
A
tough life of “dangers, toils and snares” real-fears
An
Infant-mortality curse just as common
as not
To
hedge the odds they procured a large family lot
Self-sufficient! Soft-spoken! “Know-how!”
Proud! & Brave!
Celebrated
the Independent-Individual! Knew how
to save
Education beyond 8th-grade
a real accomplishment
One-room
schools! Discipline-rules! Admonishment!
Young
man rented a farm, worked dawn ’til dusk
Took
a wife! Swore an oath! “In God I trust!”
A
river bottom farm with land flat and rich “black”
Hard-work!
Long-days! Life! & Love! Absent-slack
Comes
reward sacred children might lessen
the burden
But---needed
food…”Free” labor! Stock herdin”
Love! In some end is
really all that can ever matter
Wise?-Choices! To each! The Whisper-wind scatters
Born
to a history and then provide thy story text
Celebrate
Glory! Attitude! Or choose to be
vexed
Spread
Joy! Smile! Do-Good! Christian-generous
care!
Love
thy halo! One day? Hope that I’ll also be there!
A
Whisper-wind dawned Life & Love newly bold
If anything I ever
had---save Peace!…it was cold-sold
Amen!
