Summer in the Country


The day starts in the cool darkness
Before the dawning sun.
The farmer rises from his slumber
To embrace his world.



Cattle low in the pastures and
At the gate to the milking parlor.
Frothy milk disappears through
Pipes into hidden holding tanks.



Animals are watered and fed.
Hogs smack their lips.
Hens cackle over their eggs
While roosters greet the day with crowing.
