The Farmer's Daughters Poem by Ima Ryma

The farmer's daughters work from dawn
To dusk to tend the fields so that
The family may carry on
Good life in the farm habitat.
Old and ill are farmer and wife,
And so depend on daughters to
Work very hard as is farm life.
There's never ending chores to do.
The daughters love their parents, so
They labor in the fields each day.
In hearts and minds the daughters know
Good life - this is the only way.

The farmer's daughters, hard working folk,
More than a traveling salesman joke.
