When I travel ‘cross the country <br />And I want to get a ‘country’ flavor <br />I try to get off the beaten path <br />That way I do myself a favor <br /> <br />For that is where we see the way <br />Folks really and truly live <br />Life slows down and glides along <br />Yes, country has so much to give <br /> <br />This is where we see, my friend <br />Wonderful old-fashioned farms <br />And in the midst of the landscape <br />Are the charming country barns <br /> <br />At the same time we see animals <br />That we love so very much <br />The cows, horses and chickens <br />That add to that country touch <br /> <br />The barns can be so different too <br />Many styles and sizes as well <br />It depends on what the farmer needs <br />And with the barn you can tell <br /> <br />So next time you do some traveling <br />Get off the Interstate to see farms <br />For that is when you can observe <br />Those wonderful back-road barns!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/back-road-barns/
