Yearning

I’ve never milked a cow
Or lived upon a farm
I’ve never thrown a bale of hay
Or done a chicken harm

But when the sun has set
And peace comes to my door
I know a field beyond my home
Is what I’m looking for

This was great. Your meter is spot on and I can see the influence of Emily all over this. really good.
