Title: James and Sarah

James works a farm he doesn't own
planting and harvesting what is sewn
Sarah learns to cook and pray
Pa stows a dowry for her wedding day

Wedding bells rang their union blessed
infront of townsmen their love professed
Years passed by the farmer and his wife
God blessed them they had a good life

James farmed his own land with his hands
Sarah cooked in a kitchen with a window fan
Children were raised toted to church on Sunday
Rest was earned, Back to work come Monday

Lord came calling his children home
came for them so they weren't alone
Side by side lay farmer and wife
Where Angels sing and their is no strife.
