He was bound to the land from the day of his birth His roots anchored deep in the fertile earth Nurtured, sustained, by the soil he grew And his life, like his furrows, ran straight and true In faith, each spring, he planted the seeds In hope, to reap for his family's needs With patience, he waited for the harvest to come To gather the fruits of his labor home. Ever turning seasons, the years sped past Till the final harvest came at last Then claimed anew by beloved sod He was gathered home to be with God. Mueller Funeral Home 904 E.
