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..."
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 "...
