Unconditional, none greater

Father’s steadfast and faithful love

He witnesses each human stain

Yet, His grace forgives from above

 

Eternity’s river of hope

Father’s truth expressed through His love

Heavenly spirit’s mercy flows

Righteousness descends from above

 

Enemy’s darkness now shattered

Father’s peace illuminates love

Patience always slow to anger

Angelic praises from above

 

Judgment left to His caring hands

Father’s vision expresses love

Invites man’s actions of kindness

Sunrise always leads from above

 

Truth sown from greatest commandment

Father looks inward at man’s love

Shared with every generation

Joy destined to praise from above

Farm’s eternal footprint

Memories held tight

From each generation

Nurturing what’s right

 

Kitchen table’s witness

Writes each diary page

Chronicles history

Filling life’s rain gauge

 

Precious hope’s future link

Tough times overcome

History comes alive

Leaving each bread crumb

 

Confidence builds each spring

Another crop sown

Expected fall harvest

Paying back bank loan

 

Farmer’s faithful outlook

Every season’s birth

Tomorrow remains bright

Blessing Mother Earth

Season to season

From love’s treasured heart

Every breath of life

Landscape’s fresh restart

 

Nature’s life cycles

Reborn every spring

Yet, autumn mourns loss

Winter’s darkness stings

 

Throughout life’s phases

Hope’s fateful ascent

Never to wither

Love always present

 

Always on schedule

Life’s permanent breath

Winter fades away

Spring overcomes death

 

Eternal love lasts

Cold ground warms again

Life breathes as He planned

Creator’s “amen”

Shifting seasons frame change

Visions color each page

Windmill’s faithful turning

Always prepared to engage

 

Stirring with day’s sunrise

One more painting to view

Autumn’s awakening

Colors ink nature’s tattoos

 

Circling within each hour

Landscape reveals fresh start

Winter’s white fills sketches

Snow-covered quilt warming hearts

 

Waiting with eagerness

Tender green sprouts share love

Spring’s quenching refreshment

Precious gifts rain from above

 

Enjoying lazy days

Filled with endless sunshine

Summer’s relaxation

Flowers color each headline

 

Sharing seasons’ rhythm

Time to exchange baton

Windmill’s faithful turning

Pleasantly awake at dawn
