Tender Soil - Teresa's Prayer 1 Angels Descended Upon Us


Tender Soil-Teresa's Prayer


Hello, our soil!
Tender soil raises tender lives.
The earth, the wind, the sun!
You nurture lives!
Teresa prays.

Vegetables and fruits grown in Mother Nature
Taste wonderful, mellow and fragrant.
Tasting well,
They smell of the earth.
Fertility.

A farmer said,

“To grow vegetables and fruits,
full of life and nourishment,
soil is crucial.
So, making rich soil
is my life's work.


The crops grown in the soil
that are diligently cultivated
are wonderful.
They are full of life,
each having their own characters.”

The farmer's pride
Is the compost heap
That has been piled up
At the corner of the winter field.

White vapour is rising upwards,
Wavering towards the sun,
From the corner of the vast field
In the dim sunlight.
