Doesn’t it make you sad
To see old abandoned homes?
Where once a family lived
And the animals casually roamed?
They were the heart of our country
What made our world go ‘round
And now these farms are silent
You can’t hear a single sound
Fields that once were carefully
Gown to be the perfect feed
For cattle raised to perfection
Now there is no need
The home may still be standing
A refuge for mice and such
But if you entered broken doors
All you would hear is a hush
The barns were filled as well
Baby calves nestled in
The hay by their mothers
Now it’s so sad and so grim
Ah yes, time does move on
As though it were only a faze
But it’s important to remember
Those wonderful by-gone days!
