The Farm Wife

"A Cook" has a family to feed now And food in the "Refrigerated" space is low "Empty' is the panty but garden endows So she visits "The Garden" lain in rows Outside the garden gate she takes "A Pause" Just a moment in time to God says "Thanks" Before "The Morning Chore" gives Sonrise applause She begins work "Transformed" beside potato banks "Georgia Peaches" she peels; sings "The Same Song" Today there won't be a changed "Epilogue" "Recipe For Change" comes further along Later complaints "Just For You" she'll catalogue "Succulent Georgia Peach Pie" she'll serve up The gentle cook will fill your empty cup.....
