July 5th………..POEM – “A Pleasant Evening”. Created by N. Elliott Noorlun on July 12th, 2015.
A serene evening scene of country farm life.
A pleasant evening, There on our farm, Sheltered from, The world’s alarm.
There dwelt that gentle family charm, As shadows lengthened there.
Elliott gets a ride in big brother Lowell’s arm as afternoon fades into a pleasant farm evening.
Cuddled in, My brother’s arm, From the smile I made, I knew no harm,
To family hearth, I’d always swarm, And found security there.
Tiny Candice is cuddled by her big sister, Rosemary, as the late afternoon sun illuminates cornfields behind them.
Little sister, Candice Lynn, So sweet at birth, From love within,
Held close to sister Rosie’s chin, There’s love exuding there.
Clarice and Russell Noorlun were good and godly parents who, although monetarily not rich, gave golden treasures of home and love to their four children.
So, thank you, Lord, For parents who, Valued life, And chose to do,
All they could, To see us through, Oh the joys of family there!! ><> 😉
A very pleasant farm evening to be enjoyed by all.
I may be only one oat seed in a field of millions, yet I have a story to share of beginnings on our beloved farm in southern Minnesota and beyond to life as I've seen it to this point. Famous? No. Gifted? Unlikely. Yet, I want to leave a legacy to my children and grandchildren of who this gentle Norwegian man was. My happy times, sad times, successes and failures. Someday, those who are tiny now, will have this volume to come to and get to know this Norwegian Farmer's Son.
