.
One look at the field and
you have to know
a farmer worked today, now
reviews the method of his show
Sweat pours from his brow
Pain deep in his heart
The big season ahead and
this is just the start
Rocks, stumps, and obstacles
there can be no glee
He continues knowing that
this is what will be
Heroes before their time, but
who will recognize?
Efforts beyond human endeavor
No way to sensitize
This is the year they make it
with everything going their way
There is a much better feeling
What dangers lurk, no one can say
He starts, he works, and finishes
With back bended; he heads for home
Appreciates the stress of his bride
She also works to the bone
They believe in prayer and thanksgiving
but know they must do their part
Each year will be different they discern
And each year they will start
