The wheat stalk extended
Bending under a heavy weight
Not from being burdened
Not from feeling down cast
.
The wheat stalk extended
Bowing under a heavy weight
A gesture of thanks for the abundance
Provided by the Creator
.
The wheat stalk extended
Bowing under a heavy load
When we treat the ground as sacred
Our Creator extends a rich blessing
.
The wheat stalk extended
Bowing under a heavy weight
When we faithfully care for the soil
We are blessed with it’s bounty
