Every farm family
Has a framed portrait
Of the land
From above
This view seen
Through a camera lens
Out the window
Of a small airplane
Delivered to the door
Every farm family
Knows their land as kin
As their grandmother
Their ancestor
Their forever caregiver
As their truest friend
Seeing the land from above
Somehow brings us closer
Opens some tender place
In our shared hearts so that
We recognize ourselves
In the treetops
In the stream
And in the subtle
Curve of green
