A Rural Thought
Cotton candy falls from the sky
Thy feet be warm from fires flame
Lambs in straw and warming light
Cord to barn for blizzards force
The blinding strength and flying flakes
Allow but yards to vaguely see
The bitter cold goes deep inside
Weve spent these days for weeks it seems
The trails to town are drift and hard
No other souls for quite some time
Our larder is full no need for food
And coal is piled quite amply high
The horses rest inside the barn
And cows still give their milk so warm
Water frozen yet axe will break
And hay til spring what more to be
Vistas spread for miles around
And fields with crops when summer turns
Pastures filled with bovine herds
And sheep of wool and bleats at night
We chose this life to be ourselves
No urban blight or unclean air
The only crime is a cookie gone wrong
Or a boot not found when in great need
Dont even ask if we would trade
Dont even ask if work is hard
Dont even ask why we are here
Those thoughts be not within our home

Cool, definitely thought this was good, simple and
good. Makes me think of the Hudderite villages
nearby and the stories I've read of the Amish;
perhaps you were intending something like that, or
how it used to be in the past.
Good job,
