MY HEROES

There is a herd to feed
It is just another day
Ignoring the task
   is not optional
Negligence would be defeat
The life of a rancher
 
Cows are milked
Twice a day
The animals graze, but
Are fed again at
The second milking
The life of a dairy farmer
 
Crops are planted
Different methods employed
Must be tended
Watered and fertilized
Contention with nature
The life of crop farmers
 
Commonality:  They show up
Face up to the elements
And the unknown
Keep taking the steps
Never stop
They are my heroes
