Mrs. Dawson is a farmer
She ploughs the field all day
Sometimes even in the night
She has a debt to repay
The angel walked up to her
Looked at her for a while
“There is something I’d like to know,”
She spoke so with a smile
“I see you in the fields all day
I see you fry bacon in your pan
I even see a ring on your finger
But I do not see your man”
“My husband,” said Mrs. Dawson
“Is off on a lonely trip
He has found his destination” she said
As she bit her lower lip
“He is in my heart and in my soul
He is in my dreams
He may be gone to never come back
But that’s not how it seems
It was a long time ago
But I clearly remember the day
I never knew a man could be slaughtered
For a debt he can’t repay
They dragged him in this very field
And kicked him in the gut
I saw his blood mix with the soil
I saw him badly hurt
They chopped his head and dropped him dead
In a manner just so cruel
But not before he looked at me
And said – Life is beautiful
I still owe those men a debt
But I owe my man much more
I will repay them one day
But I can’t repay him anymore
Now if you’d excuse me
I have a field to tend to
My work has not even started
And it is nearly two”
The angel blessed and thanked her
Walked away and left her behind
Looked up again at the skies above
With divine thoughts crossing her mind
All sorts of debts you can requite
But love just can’t be repaid
She learnt a lesson of true love
The first few rungs were laid
Beautiful!
