Country Livin

Yup this is my life and im proud of it

Dusty boots and dirty hands;

just another day on the farm.

Up at the crack of dawn;

Puttin on those wrangler jeans;

and sliding on these old boots.

feedin the horses and milkin the cows;

some call it work but for me.

I call it passion;

this is all i know and it runs through these veins.

Ma and Pa started this tradition and i intend on;

seeing this through.

passing on the farm to my son just as my father did to me.

my final resting place is under that old oak tree by the creek;

cookin up supper by dusk.

sayin my prayers after bed time storys.

in bed by midnight and it starts all over again here on the farm.

I felt like I was on the farm reading this! Good job!!

now this is the way to live. i love this poem. be careful with your semi-colon use, i don't think you need any of them you put in the poem. Other than that, this is fantastic

I like this poem. I like the country. I don't like large cities. Old age brought the desire of a lonely road and good conversation. Your poem told a good story. We need to go back to the old ways. Eating together as a family. Talking to neighbors. I like starting the day early. Be able to relax and watch the sun rise. A outstanding poem.

This is incredible in a quiet, subtle way; a glimpse into the history of this country when family farms fed the world. Thank you for letting us into your world.
