A Farmers Wait For Spring

Your head upon the pillow 
That rest you have before you sleep, 
When circling thoughts begin to spin 
Nagging doubts begin to creep.

Usual jobs, that swallow time 
Some monthly bills and debts to pay 
Winter feed reserves all but gone 
Livestock sick of only hay. 

Signs of spring are signalled now 
As days, then grass begin to grow 
Right now, it’s quite a juggling act 
Thirty days to wait you know.  

So close before aplenty 
When demand, falls beneath the curve 
Expenses postponed until then 
When balance lines will leave reserve. 

Sleep is really calling now
Just blocked by thoughts of what to mend 
But now, they’ll be tomorrows tasks 
An endless list you must attend.
