A few lines from "Furrows and Fields":
"I spent my life in furrows and fields
Working and tilling the land
Observing the beauties created
By God's almighty hand
I have touched the richness of soil
I've born the wind and sun on my face
And I would choose this life and this land
Over any other place
A life filled with crimson-dawned mornings
When I was up to greet the sky
Days spent with family and creation
All throughout my life
I was blessed to experience each springtime
When raindrops have washed the earth clean
Where my efforts have grown into harvest
Fields bearing the lushness of green
And my life's been strengthened by trials
For the weak can never belong
In a living where nature and the elements ..."
further along in the poem:
..."And so my life must be no different
Just like the crops that I have grown
For I am also God's child and seed
That at harvest must come home "...
