I wrote the first and last lines of this poem in June 2000 after attending the funeral of an older farmer friend of ours, Clarence Roenfeld. Then in the fall of 2006, we lost Clarence's brother, Elmer, and another farmer friend, Leo Boileau. In early December my uncle, Don Rossiter, died in a traffic accident in Northwest Iowa.
