Farmers As farmers we watch the sky and read the Good BookBoth lead to a Godly promise and lookWe pray that we get what we needWhile fighting the economy, bugs and every kind of weedWe know its all out of our handsWhether family, livestock, or the crops across our landsGod is totally in charge of our livesTo some a total truth and surpriseWaiting on God is very hopeful and wiseThe answers to our prayers, knowing God hears our criesHe said he will not leave us or forsake usGod's word is a huge loving plusWe do our best in the world God has given usLooking to the sky, praising our father who we totally trust!! Jean Nonnamaker Bluffton Sovereignty Born in 1776, After a long battle, Celebrating 249th this year— All laughs, no need to rattle! Total sovereignty, 360 degrees of unity, With a texture of diversity— Is the banner of its identity! Superior in every aspect, A bonded union—fifty states, The bald eagle, a national emblem, Soaring high, proud with keen vision! The USA became the name, To gain acclaim, With new plans, To break all the logjams! Today, when I look everywhere, Almost a fortnight before July Fourth, I'm astonished to learn, How people's emotions churn! With shops full of new products, In colors red, blue, and white— Be it earrings, clothes, plates, or lights, Together, they echo the flag shining bright! As the summer season is just gearing up, It has added exhilaration on the road, I'm also super ecstatic, For a moment, forgetting I'm abroad! Neetu Kumari Singh Findlay
