MY FARM My farm to me is not just land Where bare unpainted buildings stand- To me, my farm is nothing less Than all created loveliness. My farm is not where I must soil My hands in endless dreary toil But where, through seed and swelling pod I've learned to walk, and talk with God. My farm, to me, is not a place Outmoded by the modern race For here, I think, I just see less Of evil, greed, and selfishness. My farm's a haven-here dwells rest, Security and happiness- Whate'er befalls the world outside Here faith and hope and love abide. And so my farm is not just land Where bare unpainted buildings stand- To me, my farm is nothing less Than all of God's hoarded loveliness.
