Montana Fields

Daddy's shoulders were burned by the sun
as he plowed wheat fields one by one
All his hopes seeded in the soil
His labor fed us with all his toil
Noon would come - he would find a tree
Take his hunchback pail...a moment free
The tractors roar was fierce and strong
He rode it all the daylight long.
He now plows heaven's fields on John Deere
I hear that motor loud and clear

You honor your father with this work. I am sure that he is in heaven because farmers know how dependent they are on God and His gift of rain on the crops at the right time. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

A wonderful tribute to a life-long farmer hero, who was well-loved. Great job, Sherry.
