The Farmer
I grew up on a ranch. I remember how hard my dad worked. It did not matter if it rained or the sun shined, he had to take care of all his chores or the animals suffered. The life of a farmer is a hard one and that is what this work is about. Portrayed through the open door of the barn, the farmer in the rain can be seen going about his work.

I would like to share this with you. This writing is not mine, but was submitted to me by “Stateless” and I agree with him. I think it is perfect to go with my photo “The Farmer”.
Here is what “Stateless” wrote, “your photo ‘The Farmer’ reminded me of an old Steve Earle song i have loved since the mid 80’s.. the lyrics suit your photo very well..thought you may be interested! Think it was written around the time Reagan was in the presidency and Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan were touring with ‘Farm Aid’ I wish to thank “Stateless” for this contribution.
So without further ado, I would like to share it with you:
