WISDOM FROM AN OLD FARMER

"The things that make us happy don't cost a dime..."


Did you ever think about it?

Most things that make us happy
    don't cost a dime.

It's true.

Up early, and I sit on my nice
     front porch wood deck,

With my sweet, gentle, loyal lady...
    who has ever been by my
         side...lo, these many years

And we're sipping hot coffee,
    breathing clean, fresh air,
        an' just relaxing...

....sharing the gift of time

The bright sun in the blue sky,
    lighting the world and
        warming us costs 
             nothing

The big beautiful white clouds are
    beginning to billow up...
        as the morning sun 
            climbs higher

We can almost feel the sun's energy
    creeping into our bones

A fish jumps out of the pond!
    Have we got a trout?

Birds are singing in the trees
    and a black raven, hungry 
         for breakfast,
               is soaring about

A turtle is seen creeping across our
     dewy green lawn, seemingly
         in no great hurry

Old Jeremiah, our beloved frog 
    out in the pond---looks 
       like a preacher...and is
    at it again with the bored fish

You can hear a lonesome tractor 
    motor, somewhere far off
       in the distance...already
           at work, plowing

Wild turkeys are pecking around under
   the trees, little baby ones
       tagging along...and none are
    paying us any attention

My garden is looking good, especially in
    this cool morning air...I reckon
        the artichokes need a little
     extra drink of water

A coupla' rabbits are hopping around,
   trying to figure out a way thru
      the fence into the green beans

That corn may not look like much now
     but just wait a month...an' butter
         will be drippin' off a 
              roasting ear

Tempted to back my restored '62 Mustang 
     outta the barn...and rev up that 
         motor once again

A famous poet once said: "God is in His
    heaven..."

He also lives here, on our farm, enveloping
   and enabling us all day every day---
       and empowering us and our plants.

Yes, He's here.....
