Farmer's Daughter

The Breezes flowed through bright verdant meadows the sky alight in blazing glory of azure and violet the farmer on his tractor ploughs the field in farrows pauses to watch the pretty maiden dressed all in scarlet Golden ribbon in her hair, she brings him his lunch they sit together in the sun chatting about this and that as she collects the basket her father points out bunches of multi coloured flowers down by the river near the muskrat Her father back at work, she wanders down to the waters edge picking a lovely posy of the wild flowers to give to her mother trailing her fingers in the cool waters she lifts her skirt in a wedge paddles in to cool her feet as it deepens she holds her skirt higher What bliss to take some time to enjoy the scent of fresh turned earth to drink in her surrounds and thinks how lucky she is living out here keeping the age old traditions going, each season a time of rebirth she heads off back to the farm liking that it is part of the final frontier

This is a wonderful story of rhyme. We live on what use to be miles and miles of active farmland, but now every corner there are shopping centers with 5 lane highways. I miss the country roads, buying fresh eggs from farms and the healthy air I use to breathe in. Warm Smiles, Connie

what a sweet idyllic picture you painted of a farmer's daughter. My mother was one of those girls and she told me how she would dance in the fields and talk to God!!
