Beautiful words, Roger. One of those that makes you feel good almost instantly after reading.

The story of growth, harvest and reading what comes from that os beautifully told, here.

Lovely work.

The careful gardener weeding the rows before anyone even sees the table~? I like that kind of quiet love, the boring hand-dirty work that makes the blessing possible later.

Lovely, Roger. I watched my neighbors work their garden, and just the other day they surprised me with cucumbers and squash, fresh bounty to my own table. I bet you love gardening. Your poem draws out the thanksgiving in me, friend. Beautiful. 🙏🏼💞

Roger, What I love most about this piece is the way it honors every participant in the journey, from the first seedling reaching for light to the final meal shared at the table. The gentle rhythm feels almost like a prayer of thanksgiving, reminding us how many hands and forces contribute to even the simplest gifts we receive each day. Beautifully crafted and deeply comforting. 🌱✨

Unless you are a farmer, I think people think that food just appears 🤔

I know better. We had a good harvest last October in Texas. And with it we got blisters and burns. We also can!
