A Farmer’s Prayer

Lord, look on me with kindness I do the best I can I try to feed my wife and kids From this worn and barren land I work from morn to sunset With this sad unfertile dirt To feed and clothe my wife and kids I love them till I hurt I pray each day while working hard I pray each day to you So help me Lord, please understand I do what I know to do Just smile on me and find me peace When it’s time for me to go And find peace too for the ones I love Because I love them so. So when the time comes to touch on me With your warm and careful hand Please take it slow and remember please Remember I’m just a man.
