A Visit to the Farm
Stallions gallop throughout luscious
verdurous pastures, as the red
Case tractor hums next to a
charcoal gray silo;
brown cows graze on towering
bundles of amber hay.
A frayed baseball Twins
cap rests on silver smooth hair;
a man’s patience grows each
day inside a kind heart of joy.
Succulent savory spice
scents fill the
home’s kitchen, while
rice pudding goldens
beautifully in the oven.
The phone rings and a hair
dryer blows upstairs, hurrying
downstairs with pink
slippers and mascara in one hand;
a woman’s kindness overpowers
her desire for a clean home.
Their life together
began in a one room
schoolhouse, the girl in ninth
while the boy was in eleventh.
Both having big farm
families of their own,
they were inseparable; a
golden bell calls the lovely
sweethearts to class,
pausing their fantasy.
As long as they
stay together, their
love never fails; their love
protects and
perseveres.
Their characters show the
true meaning of family; without them
I would have never been born,
Grandparents make the world
go round with their care.

This poem was specically dedicated to my grandparents. They live on a farm and I tell about their story throughout the poem.
