A precious metal
that being gold
but give no thought to eating it!
that being gold
but give no thought to eating it!
Of prescient note
the color of fall
when some night switches thrown
our world of green
changes clothes
to slip in glowing gold
Soybean fields
their fruits all hidden
shout out the harvest coming
“Gold is hidden here,
beneath our golden leaves!”
Indeed, riches are unfolding
the fruits that open to us
building blocks of proteins
Corn fields try it too
but are no match for beans
Yes, streaks of gold on giant leaves
the corn forests are changing too
but are no match for beans
Yes, streaks of gold on giant leaves
the corn forests are changing too
Ah, reds and purples
oranges and golds
slipping into tans
All shout beauty
and coming harvest
but I, I choose the gold!
