I Was Raised On a Little Old Farm

I was raised on a little old farm by my daddy who raised pigs in a barn my mama well what can I say she helped my daddy on our farm everyday. I have two sister and two brothers we tried to always help out one other it was just a simple life when I was raised in the 50s. I was raised on a little old farm we plowed our corn fields with our old gray tractor. because our pigs had to be feed we shucked off lots of corn to put way in old corn shed. As hard as my daddy worked everyday mama and him taught us good values that still stays with all of this to this day. I was raised on a little old farm my daddy worked as a Iron worker in the day but on some days after daddy got home he worked and added rooms to our old home. Money was tight while raising 5 kids but mama always seem to keep us all fed. But we knew everyday mama and daddy loved us even if the words[ I love you] was not offen said. I was raised on a little old farm in the winter we took time to ice skate in the back field on a swampy like pond. it was great living on a long dirt road with our neighbors the Boggs who had seven children of there own. I was raised on a little old farm and I am going to try to tell daddy story's about or farm life to each grandchild in the family that is born. I hope you enjoyed this poem because soon we well be selling our childhood home. I was raised on a little old farm. 2015 by charlotte
