The Farmer's Battle with the Weeds

Plant Seed, Pull Weed: Nurturing the Garden of Your Life
Plant Seed Pull Weed
A farmer battles with the weeds
When one crop fails the weed succeeds
No wonder some folks just raise steeds
And many kinds of special breeds

Still someone's got to plant the seeds
That do provide a nation's needs
For meat alone the world concedes
Is not the sum of all that feeds

And so the humble farmer leads
Steadfastly doing his good deeds
In patience surely he exceeds
Tenacity that supersedes

A farmer fights — a farmer bleeds
As he grows us our daily needs
Among his most important deeds
The farmer's battle with the weeds
