BLESS THE FARMERS<\/p>\n

To be a farmer is not so easy,
\nBut it’s a blessing in disguise,
\nFarmers don’t see the pollution,
\nThey watch a beautiful sunrise.<\/p>\n

Dawn in the big city is so noisy,
\nHorns drown out your every word,
\nThe farmer’s morning is splendid,
\nHe hears a cricket, frog and bird.<\/p>\n

A city night sky fills with neon,
\nAs people flock to darkened bars,
\nThe farmer thanks his God above,
\nFor the planets, Moon and stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
