Life's Lessons

 GT's JOURNAL    

"It takes half your life before you discover
life is a do-it-yourself project." - Napoleon Hill. 
(Author: Think and Grow Rich)

 The Taming of the Wildland

My dear friends, Life is never fun
During my days you have to rise
Early before the rising sun
Makes you healthy, active, and wise.

I have to pasture the carabao
A helping hand to plow the field
As in the farm you have to bow
To nature as you drive the sled.

Plowing the field is a happy time
The carabao is at your command
Pushing the plow within the slime
You are the king of the farmland.

The untouched field of grass and bushes 
Becomes a valued place for corn and rice
But fire will soon blaze them to ashes
Faith and care are the farmers' advice.

The brook and stream glide on their way
While hungry heron and kingfisher
Wait for the mudfish to go astray
But daily the mudfish grow wiser.
