Farming with family
It isn't all bad
I get to work with my brothers,
My sister, my kids, and even my dad

We have our fights
No doubt about it
Been known to throw canes,
Yell loud but certainly not hit

We are stubborn, bullheaded
Determined and strong
We speaks our minds frequently,
Rarely admitting when wrong

Yet we make it all work
Somehow, someway
We are out there together
Working hard everyday

It's a sight to behold
Our family work force
Making our farm productive,
For the next generation, of course

It makes my soul happy
When I look outside and see
My children trailing after an uncle
They're great role models and the boys are so lucky

My heart swells with pride
When I hear my boys say
"I'm going to be a farmer
Just like Uncle Peter someday."

Dane tells Tony
As they clean the feed trough
"When I get big I will work hard
So you and Peter can take more days off."

Many things have changed
In the way we get chores done,
Except for one thing
We still now how to make work fun

Ira and Dane are learning
"Many hands make light work" is right
And that they get more work done
When they don't fight

There is something about farm life
And family, that's true
Not all can work together
And function like we do

Perhaps the best part about our family team
Is that we all truly care
About our farm, our animals, our family
Because after all, that's why we are all there

We share a common past
And our futures look bright
So this farming together
It just feels right![[In-content Ad]]
