God and His Country Air

verdant grasses in a gorgeous April meadow dew fresh on delicate apple tree blossoms red buds parade their mystical prettiness refreshing country air which rejuvenates and revives daybreak's shy glances peek over the hills barn standing in as a witness for five generations dainty daffodils sprinkled with purple violets a fabulous day for a bit of pond fishing bluegills and bass will be biting handsome farmer stares at the glowering sun appreciating God's fresh new day loving the canvas of his verdant meadow he can smell the warm flapjacks now his wife waves through the kitchen window he waves back, so glad she is his! no hurry to get inside, loving the April meadow, his overalls itch to head toward the pond after our chores, he thinks Taking another long breath of God's country air

Caren, this is a fabulous pastoral poem. I loved the part "he waves back, so glad she is his!" So real! Exquisite writing!

Thank you - I thought of every farmer I ever knew, and I have known a lot of wholesome, decent, hard-working farmers.
