Ground

The world place their hopes
On you precious ground.
In your heart,
Life can be found.

You hardly disappoint
Those who believe in you.
For so many dependants,
You’ve always remained true.

With your hands
You freely give
To all humans
The crops they receive.

Humans must cultivate
Your fertile sand.
With produce,
You fill their land.

You are a blessing
To all mankind.
Your worth
You cannot easily find.
 

 Des glaneuses (The Gleaners) -- Jean-François Millet
