at thirteen i was an expert
in using a hoe, a mann-vettywe called it then!
with my brothers
i joined my dad digging our wellmom too joining us very cheerful!
i discovered also the way to use a pickaxe
that we took frequently to the blacksmithwho dipped in fire before beating it well!
i learnt the art to split
the wood with an axeto bring firewood to cook!
then my palm was hard
while my heart and mindbecame firm to run our farm!
these lessons i had
and experiences i accumulatedmoulded my creed to make it tough!
