All his foolish youth and pride,
And sense of adventure had died,
He had become just farmer Cain
And everyone knew him by name
For his actions and simplicity
Since returning from the far off city.
With a lonely home he prospered
And generosity he fostered
Giving the peoples kitchens grain,
Although anonymously given
All knew it was from farmer Cain
The source could not be hidden.
Winters came and summers went
Some soft and others far too cruel,
Coin never on his comforts were spent,
And some said he was the great fool
For living so simply when he had gold,
For giving so freely to ungrateful poor
For living on so large and productive hold.
Cain paid them no attention
Those jealous of his situation
For the needy were grateful in their way
And the enjoyment was in the giving
That he could comfort their harshest day
So the hungry could continue living.

Thank you, iliana,
Pleased you are enjoying,
Having a touch of problem finding the time to write
And the next part is quite a touchy subject.
Hopefully done soon.

I read this very early this morning, Professor...
and I knew I needed to come back to it
again...
it has many layers....

and I feel a need to be warm.
