[hometext] => This poem was inspired when I saw the farmers in North West Victoria Australia plouging their field in the middle of a drought. I aasked why do they bother and this came up. It's the first poem I've ever written
[bodytext] => Know Why You Do What You Do The farmer he ploughs and tills the soil His plan takes shape through sweat and toil When the ground is ready, the seeds are planted He looks and hopes abundance to be granted In weeks he looks but nothing appears His work in vain, he does not fear He knows with time and love and care A good strong crop will grow right there He waters and feeds and tends the field Not long now he’ll gather the yield With planning and effort the seed will shoot But not before, unseen, it takes root A morning it dawns and sheds its light The farmer looks out with sheer delight A tinge of green from side to side Cultivation of his efforts it cannot hide It’s weeks then months they pass with care The farmer knows there’s enough to share Less seeds have matured than initially were sown Maybe one in ten now stands alone Arriving at last is the time to harvest The farmer continues to keep working his hardest He picks and he cuts and he stores nature’s goods He thinks of the ploughing and knows why he should He sells and he gives the fruits of his labour He sits and now rests accomplishments to savour His rest time is but over no time for refrain There’s a field out there to be ploughed again Think now like a farmer and trust in your plan Work hard, take care and love fellow man In life just know WHY you do what you do With this and commitment – SUCCESS comes to YOU! © Anthony Rodgers 2003 [comments] => 7 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 19 [informant] => Ant [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
