Description

I Captured this on a country road near my home. I just love the old vintage farms.
The old red barn, on the farm we love,
Is the home of swallows, sparrows, and doves.
Field mice, cats, bats and birds,
Rodents and animals, not seen but heard.
But this old barn, in the days gone by,
It's now filled with fresh hay, piled high
For the cattle and horses, sheep and the rest,
And I certainly think these days were the best.
For the barn in those days, was used not just seen,
Outlined against the fields of green.
Where the farmer must have spent most of the day,
Storing the grain and piling the hay.
In winter the cold snow dripped from it's eaves,
Down on piles of wind blown leaves.
The poultry and animals all keeping warm,
Snuggled inside from the cold winter storm.
Just think of this barn what wonders it's seen,
The plows and the tractors and threshing machine.
And I'm sure this old barn, stood in a trance,
When the lively young folks, held a country dance.
So the old red barn, though it's days are through,
Stands on the rise, right in full view.
Of anyone looking for an old country scene,
The old red barn, in a setting of green.
