Good Care For Element Earth
Like my father I have a farmer's soul.
I appreciate the Earth.
I know all plants must have good soil
To survive for Spring's rebirth.
Of course all elements are important
In Nature's grand renewal plan;
But the ground lies there so trustingly
From destruction or mercy of man.
I rent my sixty acres, yearly
To a wise and educated farmer;
Who treats the land so gently
It would make your heart beat warmer.
He believes in plant rotation,
Organic fertilizers are a must.
At the mart his lovely tulips
Put most others in the dust.
Whether one works the land for profit,
Or love of Nature is the reason,
One must recognize the needs of Earth
To have success each growing season.
