    Down On The Farm

    by David Knape

    From dawn to dusk
    down on the farm,
    they worked so hard
    from fields to barn

    A simple life
    yet not forlorn,
    happiness grew tall
    with cotton, corn

    Along with crops
    something else was born,
    true grit was raised
    down on the farm

    Lives grew complete
    forever formed
    by memories made
    down on the farm.
