Twenty-Five Years on the Farm

July 25, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A 25^th anniversary poem for a farm couple who has stayed true to each other through a hard life:

Twenty-five years on the farm

Will drain the strength out of

Every loud, shrill false alarm

Near drowned out by love.

Through years of hot, dry winds, and through

Years of steady rain,

Fortune has been good to you

In reaping what remains.

For you have kept your first love true

Through much hard work and pain,

Here now to choose again.
