David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Of Farmers Faces

Of Farmers Faces

David J Walker
 
Traces of every hour
spent in the sun
tracked in the faces of
every farmer
I’ve ever known that
devour the granted days of life
Including the strife in the faces
 
Of my Father
                        Born a farmer
And my Mother
                        From another farm nearby
The crops in the field
                        Yield children
 
And chickens and roosters that try to
Crow every morning a warning
Concerning the coming sun
 
The traces of every year
                        Are carved in the crevasse
Covered faces of
Every farmer that
I have ever known
