Sowing Seeds

Each year, in spring, I remember days of the past When we started our family, how we made it last Looking through the window, out across the fields Wondering if rains will come, to increase my yield We plan for our baby and needs for the coming fall To plant more or less, should I wait, hoping to recall Speaking with the Father, I put my mind at peace Remembering past years, what I should increase With work, in the ground, your left with only hope Look at the morning sky, will I smile or mope That day the clouds arrive and the cool spring rain We dance for joy, crops fed, relieving all the strain "Spring Rain" contest entry 5-11-2012
