The Farm, The Ranch, and the Need for God

Who pray to when the rains don't come
who forget to thank then they do

Who curse when the John Deere breaks
and the cow jumps over the moon
(by mood of course I mean the fence to the alfalfa field) 
Who in the long nights pondering under stars too cold to be suns
a word big enough for big
