at the farm
time passes
slowly
one year
to the next

at the farm
a barren woman
becomes
a mother
unexpectedly

at the farm
an aunt
an uncle
a child
family formed

at the farm
time passes
slowly
and not so slow

at the farm
changes
big
and small

at the farm
a young boy
wonders

at the farm
a man
seeks
to protect
and hide

at the farm
a woman's purpose
to guide
to educate
to mold
is fulfilled

at the farm
time passes
and changes
come
big and small
