Women Farmers
Don’t let anybody
tell you
That there
are no
women farmers
We tend land all over the world.
We’re tough, we’re strong
We know how to work hard
We’re brazen,
We’re wild, we’re free.
We live by the seasons
We live in tune with nature
We know when to till and plant
We know how to stay in balance
With the creatures all around us
We are partly earth and sky
We are partly sun and rain
We emerge from time to time
To invite you to remember
That women farm all over.
We are here to offer food
We are here to love the earth
We are here to care for her
To bring her offerings to you
We’ve done this
From long ago
We are her messengers
Her caretakers
We’re women farmers.
