Beneath the Eagle's Flight: A Farmer's Tale



In the skies, the eagle soars,
With grace and might, it explores.
In its eyes, a fierce glow,

Down below, the patient farmer toils,
In the fields, he tills the soils.
With sweat upon his weary brow,
He tends his crops, he knows not how.

Through sun and rain, he perseveres,
With hope and faith, he conquers fears.
For he knows the secret of time,
That diligence yields the grandest prime.

At day's end, with weary limbs,
He gathers the fruits of his whims.
A bountiful harvest, abundant and grand,
Rewards his toil across the land.

Like the eagle, with vigour and might,
The farmer's spirit takes flight.
For in his labour, he finds his power,
And reaps the rewards of each hour.
