out standing in a field
What I see amazes me
amazes me
What was, just weeks ago,
winters’ spoilage covering
the browns and tans and grays
has come to be another color
speaking growth and life and promise.
As far as I can see
a blanket of greens has covered
the fields we farmers plant
The early morning dew
the bright and shining sun
make a sparkling, shining sea
of maize and soybeans growing.
Gentle breezes blowing
cause the leaves to wave
Oh, what promise is showing
of what there is to come
this blanket will have run its course
a hidden switch will throw
and back to browns and tans we’ll go
the harvest will begin.
Where one tiny seed was planted
the tall corn plant will be
five hundred seeds will wait
to be food, fibre, fuel
For now it is for us to pleasure
to see what God has done
We tilled and planted sure
but God created life
Tiny seed, tiny egg
with amazing living potential
Will we plant them
Will we let them grow
Care for them
Love them
