Farmer's DaughterA Poem by DearantlersThe farmer’s daughter Walked through the yard As the chickens clucked And the horses neighed She walked right past The hungry cows And didn't glance At the noisy sheep There was one thing On the girl's mind that day As the farmer’s daughter Wandered through the yard As the chickens clucked And the horses neighed
She squinted at Though didn't really see The John Deere Tractor Shining in the sun The ducks flapped their wings Vying for her attention She didn't notice And continued walking There was one thing On the girl’s mind that day As the farmer’s daughter Strode through the yard As the chickens clucked And the horses neighed
The tears were starting To gently roll Down her cheeks Dusted with freckles There was no hand To wipe them away They were stuffed in the pockets Of her ratty jeans There was one thing On the girl’s mind that day As the farmer’s daughter Trudged through the yard As the chickens clucked And the horses neighed
She pulled her hat Lower on her face And stopped in front Of the fresh mound of dirt Her eyes were blurred And the stone unreadable The ground was dark Where the tears fell There was one thing One the girl’s mind that day As the farmer’s daughter Sat in the yard As the chickens clucked And the horses neighed © 2015 DearantlersAuthor's Note
