With laughter and cheer, for you, my friend, we’ll raise a beer. A life of mud, muck and dirt. A funny story, no time for hurt. You, taught us how to laugh and smile, even when the work stretched mile after mile. Your humor kept us going strong, through endless days and nights so long. So, here’s to you, our friend. A farmer’s farewell but not the end. In fields of green, and skies so blue. We’ll smile, remembering the life of you.
