Farmer Father's Words To Beloved Son

Farmer Father's Words To Beloved Son (LECTURE, WISDOM, PRAYER PASSED ON) Hold your horse my son, lets pull in tandem united is better than single and random You feed the mules, I will sharpen the plow later you may rest, while I start milking the cow With that done, we feed the chickens and pigs then you carry dirt away as my shovel digs Next we rest and have our noonday dinner morn was great, we shall make afternoon a winner Supper will call, come and enjoy a meal thus we can know true, how fantastic life can feel Day done, with pride we can hold our heads high before we sleep, pray our Lord our souls should we die Dawn comes, rise to enjoy its great blessing say another prayer before we start dressing Back to work well before the first cock crows this my son, is farmer's life everybody knows Cherish time together for life will end know my deep love and know I am your best friend Hold that thought in true faith, the live long day all we say and do, we must some future day pay You are best fruit of our family tree this family's love and our farm-work sets us free You feed the mules, I will sharpen the plow later you may rest, while I start milking the cow Robert J.

I am keenly aware of its positives and its negatives.. Much can be said about both, but I know this, the hard work, long hours and low pay(if any?), did not kill me and certainly taught me responsibility and to be a better man when making my own way in this dark and cruel world..
