Bonnet

"One generation passes away and another generation comes,
but the earth abides forever."
Ecclesiastes 1:4

Great great grandma wore a bonnet

When she worked with her garden hoe

When she planted lettuce and radishes

And cleared the weeds from every row.

Grandmother wore a bonnet like this 

When she hung her laundry to dry

Fastening sheets with clothes pins

Out under the blazing blue sky.

My bonnet's just for playing

Pretending to be a pioneer

Working hard in my house on the prairie

Like she did in yesteryear.
