The Tillerman. For That Happy Day

For The Tillerman

Today I’m the tiller man. We ordered a huge tiller from the hardware store, it is muddy and rain, and we haven’t quite figured out how to get the machine working. We are  on it.  I’m dedicated my garden to Cat Stevens, the musician turned holy man. Back to work.

“Bring Tea for the Tillerman

Steak for the sun

Wine for the women who made the rain come

Seagulls sing your hearts away

‘Cause while the sinners sin, the children play

 

Oh Lord how they play and play

For that happy day, for that happy day.”

– Cat Stevens
