Raymond Gerard Joseph
Farmers Creed I’ve planted many a kernel of wheat, Welcomed many a morning sun! I’ve eaten the dust, and tested the win, And I’ve gotten a good job done! I’ve climbed off the tractor with dirt on my face, And pain in my weary bones - But somehow, I always can muster a grin When I see the lights of home. Where my family waits, and the love of my life Sets a table that’s fit for a king; With her smile, and a hug, and a coffee mug, I know I have everything! As I trudge once more through the field of my years And separate chaff from the grain, I thank the good Lord, I can say in my heart That I’d do it all over again!
