The Farm Fields

The wind swept across the fields of wheat The breeze curled around each head of grain Waves would ripple through the fields Looking like the waves of an ocean lapping to shore As the sun beat upon these heads of grain They turned from green to a golden color They now have become prairie gold The harvest in the fall has truck loads of wheat Taken to the elevators for shipping to the coast From the coast wheat goes world wide To feed the hungry and give man bread From the wind swept prairie's Where the farmer makes his bed.

You create such a vivid picture, of the wheat fields out west, on those slopes as th wind blows thru, makes you think, as you say, of waves rippling through water. Sincerely Moses

An awesome tribute to farmers everywhere who risk so much and receive so little recognition for all they do. God Bless. Ron

Dear Phyllis, I once spent a few days in Lemberg, Sak. during harvest season. One of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had. The harvest moon was magnificant. Thank you for bringing it all back to me. Love, Lainie
