a piece from the heart with a knife, machete or a fork

the farmer was taught;

labor through the sun until night comes

watch through the rain and reap after the same

providing love through every seed that is sowed

whats not in the pot is sent off to the market

the evening is leaving, so its half price for whats left

night came and the stories then unfolds

 

you now get to;

put a penny to a pocket to save a day

the teaching is that simple

You certainly will make it through another day.

after a long day it is the most relaxing thought

just like the boat the sailor was beaten

you now get to;

put a penny to a pocket to save a day

the teaching is that simple

You certainly will make it through another day.

chopped in chunks and piled to ride for miles
sweat dripped and shirt soak for each pedal
its not mining but its a skill 
its back breaking but only until

you get to;
put a penny to a pocket to save a day

the teaching is that simple

You certainly will make it through another day
