Walk On...
When trails are hard before you.
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins with a first step,
But it also ends with a last.
Walk On...
When brambles tear your mind's legs,
The soles of resolve are blistered and bleeding
And the muscles of your spirit
Scream for rest inside your head.
Walk On...
When voices by the wayside
Tempt to stop your travels,
Offering cool drinks of mediocrity
To distract you from your mission.
Walk On...
When naysayers chide your efforts,
Trip you up or try to block passage.
Brush them aside with determination!
Only your heart knows where it seeks to go.
Walk On...
When the quest is through you will
Feast at contentment's table
And sleep in serenity's bed
Reconciled in your constitution.
Walk On... Until you get where you are going.
Harvesting Tales from across the Bluegrass...

Farm Rules
The rules of behavior here at the Kentucky Farmer are fairly simple and straightforward:
1 - No abuse or attacks on any contributor or guest will be tolerate. This is the first and only warning on that account.
2 - Nothing of an obscene or pornographic nature will be tolerated here. We want this to be a place our children and grandmothers can come to as well. We are not teetotlers and will allow a certain levity in language for stories, poems and comments, but please just use good taste and discretion.
2 - Please feel free, in fact encouraged, to comment on the pieces our contributors have offered for your reading enjoyment. If you have a criticism on a piece of work, that is fine, too. We are thick-skinned up to a point. Just make sure that your critiques are done in a way to encourage improvement in the way we write for you and not just mean-spirited poor-mouthing.
That ought to just about do it. Just behave like you would if your momma was watching, she just might be. You know how sneaky they can be!

PS: Couple more things. No smoking in the barn and close them gates if you found ‘em closed, leave 'em if they were open.
