On a Black Day - Death Survives - Series 2
Are you strong, young man? Can you help me keep this Farm going?
Do you fear hard work? Calluses on your fingers and hands “tough Love”
You will be a great man, you follow my directions , People watch You growing
You can have “ A Real Life “ something to Love; Love from GOD Above
Dad I appreciate Your taking me in; giving me, shelter through a Stormy Life
Yes I accept , the rules of Your House; I will be diligent in my chores
The day starts at 3:45 AM , milk the cows; out to pasture before 5 O’clock
Muck out the stable, feed the chickens, Slop the hogs, breakfast at six
Your tutor will be here from nine ‘til noon; Have a shower, he’ll be here soon
I( walk to the house, and what do I see; Brenda’s Eyes, Red like fire, a serene Blue
I hear the Pain : “She Screams” I feel the Violations She had to Endure
Brenda, What’s wrong, I have seen pains of fear, pains of life, pains of Death
Your face shows all, from the mountain top, to the deep Waterfalls Depths
You are my Older Sister; “I’m concerned : Is that blood on Your Dress??
