Villanelle

 Nothing beats the simplicity of a small town Nebraska day.

The wind smells of freshly cut alfalfa and the cottonwoods shade the farmhouse.

We don’t fret about tomorrow, we live in today.


Old folks sit with coffee and chat at the cafe.

The community is one big tight knit family.

Nothing beats the simplicity of a small town Nebraska day.


We bow our heads in the pew to pray

And raise our own top quality Nebraska beef

We don’t fret about tomorrow, we live in today.


Dad fixed up and drives an ol’ car, a Chevrolet

It’ll be passed down in the family for many generations to come.

Nothing beats the simplicity of a small town Nebraska day.


In the mud is where arrowheads are found as the children play.

Their brown eyes are a shade of golden honey in the sunlight.

We don’t fret about tomorrow, we live in today.


Thankfulness and pride is always displayed.

Nebraska is home to the most beautiful displays of color in the sky.

Nothing beats the simplicity of a small town Nebraska day.

We don’t fret about tomorrow, we live in today.
