Farmers & Heaven
“Do Farmers farm in Heaven?”
My young son asked me, so sad..
So many times he’d ridden on
The tractor with my Dad..
“Sure they do”, I told him as
His eyes turned to the sky.
“God gives us all a job to do
In Heaven when we die”.
“But, what do Farmers plant up there?”
He asked , so sure that I would know..
So I said “come sit, let’s talk a bit”
“about what farmers in Heaven grow..”
I told how there was so much food
with fields of flowers everywhere,
And how a farmer like his Grandpa
Was really needed there..
Then his eyes turned towards the window
At the tractor by the barn
And he said( as if I didn’t know)
“But he forgot his tractor Mom”
I smiled and tickled him a bit
Saying “Grandpa knows that too….
Heaven has a lot of tractors so..
He left his here for you.”

PICTURE A POEM 
Reblogged this on PICTURE A POEM.
This is a such a touching poem. Brings tears to my eyes. My son never met my dad. Cancer took him from us 10 years ago. We are putting a tribute in the local paper and would like your permission to use this poem.
Jean, your poem is a beautiful tribute to farmers. My husband’s father, a fourth generation farmer, just passed. Could we use your poem on the service program? The family has a picture of him on a tractor and your poem would be a beautiful finish to the page. You will be given credit as the author if you allow this request. Janelle

I’d be honered that you use my poem . I too loved my grandpa.
I also love your poem. My grandfather only has days left to live. He is 94 years old and has been a farmer all of his life. The family was looking for something to put in a program at his funeral and this would be great. Can I use your poem? I will make sure I put you as the author.

I love your poem reference Farmers in Heaven. I am wanting to put a little piece in our small town paper remembering my Dad who was killed in a farm accident 30 years ago. Would you ever allow your poem to be quoted for that purpose. My Dad farmed the family homestead and was third generation on that farm.
