The Farm Fields

The wind swept across the fields of wheat

The breeze curled around each head of grain

Waves would ripple through the fields

Looking like the waves of an ocean lapping to shore

As the sun beat upon these heads of grain

They turned from green to a golden color

They now have become prairie gold

The harvest in the fall has truck loads of wheat

Taken to the elevators for shipping to the coast

From the coast wheat goes  world wide

To feed the hungry and give man bread

From the wind swept prairie's

Where the farmer makes his bed.

You create such a vivid picture, of the wheat fields out west, on those slopes as th wind blows thru, makes you think, as you say, of waves rippling through water. Sincerely Moses

An awesome tribute to farmers everywhere who risk so much and receive so little recognition for all they do. God Bless. Ron

Dear Phyllis, I once spent a few days in Lemberg, Sak. during harvest season. One of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had. The harvest moon was magnificant. Thank you for bringing it all back to me. Love, Lainie
