When you look at this picture, what do you see?
Shiny faces and clean stacks of apples, crisp from the tree,
There is Oscar, John, Gary and Newt,
Nancy, William and Allen with the apple picking crew,
Do you see the dog wandering almost out of sight?
Or that everyone’s eye is focused to something on the right,
The setting is obvious and plain for generations to see,
But the part of the picture that means the most to me?
I see family and friends living a dream,
Apples packed and stacked by an organized team,
Stop and capture the moment in a picture,
A kind of life that is written in scripture,
To wake up in the morning looking forward to the toil,
Family bounty produced from many hands and soil,
Humble work was one of the crops of this ground,
What else from this picture have you found?
