There are lots of unsung heroes in our society today.

But certainly, let's not forget the farmer where it all begins.

There are lots of unsung heroes here in our world today,

teachers and police, the guy who brings the mail our way.

First Responder, waitress firefighter, the forklift driver with the load.

The store clerk soldier janitor, the trucker on the road.

What about the moms and dads working hard to make ends meet

those caring for the elderly, or repairing lights or Street,

the welder and the preacher? The one who runs the big machine,

the salesman and musician The one who keeps our water clean.

Those who volunteer in church, the one who cares for kids or cooks,

those who serve on clubs, committees or take time to keep the books,

those in the county office, the nice lady at the bank.

I appreciate all these that I should take the time to thank.

But life could not go on without our daily bread.

So let's recognize the farmers whose efforts keep us fed.

Thanks to all the unsung heroes for contributions great and small.

And a special thanks to farmers whose work helps feed us all.

Happy trails.
