Our Daily Bread

Our Daily Bread

The rooster neck stretched while crowing 
wakes unknowing
rubbing their eyes
mid-raised gold skies.

The fields being harvested all-day
work and no pay
hourly naught here
own free and clear.

Morning, noon, till the setting sun
mom's work ne'er done
our meed we're awed
by Father God.
