the hoe, the rake, and the wheelbarrow
my constant companions of yesteryear
provided me healing to body, mind
and my soul, transforming also my land
the hoe, the rake, and the wheelbarrow
those simple tools with greater output
fed bigger mouths with larger bellies
grounding me on a very real ground
the hoe, the rake, and the wheelbarrow
the pen and the pencil of humble poor
wrote on pages of the mother earth
for me, the scholar, to read and live well
