Comment from Carolyn Dooley
It is a shame and disgrace how the farmers have been looked over and disrespected. If it was not for those farmers, people would have starved to death. It takes special people to work as hard as they do. They are the backbone of the world. Thank you for sharing.

Farming is not an easy task and relying on the weather and nature often brings its challenges to farmers. Praying is what they sometimes rely on, a poignant write, love Dolly x

What a great way to see the meaning of life through a faithful farmer's eyes. He knows he is dependent on the Lord and knows it all belongs to Him, so he works and trusts the Lord to bring a meaningful harvest. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from WalkerMan
This lovely poem in flawless iambic tetrameter and a-b-c-a rhyme scheme is a well composed expression of an old farmer's gratitude to God for his beautifully thriving corn crop ready for harvest, as he stands admiring his field in colorful autumn sunset.
Superb, and gorgeously illustrated. :)) -- Mike

Thank you very much, WalkerMan, for this marvelous review and the six-star bonus. I am delighted by your praise and truly appreciate your suggestion and all your research. Although I love the SOUND of "trods," I made the correction to "treads."
-
You are most welcome.
I see the correction and have removed my comments on it as promised.
This is a splendid poem of unwavering faith justly rewarded. :)) -- Mike

Comment from Marienkiefer
A lovely poem celebrating the fruits of are labour and blessed bounties of the earth.
Sparkling in your poem:
-The farmer, regardless of age or exterior elements, finds the strength and will to sow the seeds in his lifetime work, how he cares for the land and nature and and God's will that gives him great return and abundant light.
A very faith full poem. Blessings
