What The Hands Have Grown

Waxwing

Blessed am I to sit here today

Taking this time to carve out a place

Where I may find some rest

And give others solace

To remind and remember,

What can't be bought with dollars

From your pockets.

Not everything.

It's something I should remember.

Treasure it it's all you own

Treasure it it's all that's your own

Food costs money and kids gotta eat something

If a farmer's work is honest

The contribution won't be unnoticed.

I wish I were a farmer.

To be satisfied with what

These hands have grown

No food of mine

Sits in the bellies of others

Instead this strange secret

Twisting which each only knows.
