Useless Paper People

Useless Paper People

W  e are but useless paper people!

Paper cut-outs all in a row, all tied together.

W  e are but useless paper people!

We do not feel, smell, touch, hear, talk or walk;
only seen and not heard

W  e are but useless paper people!

We lie flat, cut into many shapes and forms.

W  e are but useless paper people!

A Farmers Creed

 

 
I believe a man's greatest possessions is his dignity and that no calling bestows this more than farming.

I believe hard work and honest sweat are the building blocks of a person's character.

I believe that farming, despite its hardships and disappointments, is the most honest and honorable way a man can spend his days on this earth.

I believe my children are learning values that will last a lifetime and can be learned in no other way.

I believe farming provides education for life and that no other occupation teaches so much about birth, growth and maturity in such a variety of ways.

I believe many of the best things in life are indeed free. The splendor of a sunrise, the rapture of wide open spaces, the exhilarating sight of your land greening each spring.

I believe true happiness comes from watching your crops ripen in the field, your children grow tall in the sun, your whole family feel the pride that springs from their shared experience.

I believe that by my toil I am giving more to the world that I am taking from it, an honor that does not come to all men.

I believe my life will be measured ultimately by what I have done for my fellow men, and by this standard I fear no judgment.

I believe when a man grows old and sums up his days, he should be able to stand tall and feel pride in the life he's lived.

I believe in farming because it makes all this possible.
