The rice farmer
by Saoirse McCann
The Sun is setting low, the red sky a welcoming sight;
The farmer stands silently in the fading light.
The fields are watered and planted, the buffaloes are fed;
The only thing he thinks of now is finding home and bed.
A gentle wind is whispering of hope and dreams of life;
Every grain of rice requires such effort and such strife.
Remember, when you sit and eat with family or friends,
All the many hours he works, as his fields he tends.
