	Story Behind the Song I grew up in the country in rural Indiana. The poem was inspired by a bike ride one sunny summer afternoon. I paused at the top of a hill and looked out over the rolling fields of golden grain that met up with a pure blue sky and carried that image with until I wrote this poem many years later. Lyrics Across their bobbing heads, Great, the hand caressed, Radiant golden waves, That touched a heart, That breathed “live”. So blue the eyes, And sound filled ears, The chorus rang out, Eternal youth, So strong, so lush. The golden glow, A blanketed wave, The sowers seed, Beckons me to greet The days that come. Strong. Firm. With tender reverence. Breathe deeply child, Treasure this always, As guides your soul, Through life and times. But a grain in this sea of wheat, Upon this summer day.
