Country Living

Tony36

It's grass being grown
Hay being hauled
Campfire in the evening light

It's cows in the field
Fresh garden yield
Fireflies in the night

It's the country life
Old dirt roads
Leading to adventure untold
While we jump in our trucks and ride

Catching chickens by hand
City folks just don't understand
How one could love this kind of life
It's the country life

It's fishing in the lake
Biscuits that are homemade
Homemade ice cream  on a hot summer night

It's the country life
Old dirt roads
Leading to adventure untold
While we jump in our trucks and ride

Catching chickens by hand
City folks just don't understand
How one could love this kind of life
It's the country life

      It’s a good life in the farm. So glad I was sent to the countryside every time school was not in session.

        Oh, but this is so very, very beautifully rendered with nigh exquisite imagery for the tantalizing poignancy waltzing throughout. Thank you very much for sharing, I love it!!!
