The farmer put in very long days <br />After supper he’d go back out <br />And work sometimes ‘till long after dark <br />Hard work was what he was about <br /> <br />It was a life he had always seen <br />Working the land like his father <br />It never once entered his mind <br />For his life to be any other <br /> <br />But you know, there were times <br />When he would feel such magic <br />Sure, life was very difficult <br />But there usually was nothing tragic <br /> <br />When the night time would come <br />While he was in the fields <br />One bale after another <br />Would add up to a winter yield <br /> <br />He’d watch beyond the windmill and silo <br />As brilliant colors the sky would get <br />The farmer would smile as he saw <br />A striking and heartwarming sunset!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-farmer-s-sunset/
