Go about our daily chores
With patience and with care
Love the land we work upon
The soil is rich and rare

Gentle breeze within our life
It helps us through the day
Gathered in the gentleness
In silent gaze we pray

Thankful for these blessings
So we can always show
When day of work has ended
Our life has special glow

Love becomes the passion
In little things we do
Passes time so quickly
So tired when we're through

When the day is over
We sit and look around
Joy does fill our grateful hearts
With bounty we have found

All of life so precious
With accomplishments we share
Hands are joined in pleasure
Our peaceful love aware.
