Back on the Farm


I think of times gone by,
Reminiscing with a sigh;
Those days went by fast,
Wishing they could last.

Days back on the farm,
Free from trials and alarm;
But still seems a bit sad,
Industrious dear old dad.

He got up before the sun,
Worked until it was done;
Milking cows twice a day,
Reaped straw and the hay.

But never did we ever lack,
Always clothes on my back;
Ensuring he was ever able,
Of enough food on the table.

A kind man that never swore,
Nor so mad in slamming a door;
No doubt in going to Heaven,
God saw his reward was given.
