In loving memory of our beloved Norman Neupert who passed away two years ago today.

I spent my life in furrows and fields

Working and tilling the land

Observing the beauties created

By God’s almighty hand.

I have touched the richness of soil

I’ve worn the wind and sun on my face

And I would choose this life and this land

Over any other place.

A life filled with crimson-dawned mornings

When I was up to greet the sky

Days spent with family and creation

All throughout my life.

I was blessed to experience each springtime

When raindrops have washed the earth clean

Where my efforts have grown into harvest

Fields bearing the lushness of green.
