A farmer grows
A farmer grows
by Joel Howard
Babies plant in a day
And want to see fruit
Then and there
Fools want it right away
To see with their
own eyes
The farmer grows,
toils and waits
Grows, toils and waits
The farmer waits
another day
Waits another day
When I was a child
I wanted milk
When I wanted milk
I was a fool to think
That I, starting,
had arrived
The farmer waits
watches, prays
Waits, watches, prays
Works, sweats, never
forgets,
Sweats and never forgets
The fool overlooks
his job, wanting to
get paid
The stupid one steals
and grabs, thinking
he has won
The farmer groans
dedicates, groans
and dedicates
Spins, toils, perseveres
Toils and perseveres
Fool and farmer
Baby and adult
Stupid and planner
All share the same earth
Who am I?
Who will I be?
What am I to do?
Instead of looking
for what's next
May I now follow through
