You improve the value of the habitat
Intensifying from dawn your love for plants and flowers
intending to provide a solution to the Environmental footprint
capturing the carbon of the earth and the peace that
the flora provides you
you were born with the special ability
to take care of the plants, enjoy dialogue with them
flirting with the air that caresses them
during your pilgrimage in the garden that you care for
with so much care
the love you have for plants
serves as a teaching of universal love and respect
perfectionist farmer's daughter, who alone or accompanied
you can grow all kinds of fruits, vegetables, fibers, and cereals
you learn to tame animals, to provide care
and food for the family, you saw the hen give eggs, the cow give milk,
you saw the pig provide meat and the horse serve as transport,
on your father's farm you also saw the kitten,
sunbathing belly up
the gluttonous dog runs around everywhere,
but always aware that they do not enter stranger and awkward
you knew very well the important tools
for plant growth and development
the barn, the stable, the chicken coop, and the shed to store
the tools used to work the land,
perfectionist farmer’s daughter,
your professional career full of pride and satisfaction
along with your love of gardening,
surpass television love stories in the field
and rural romantic movie plots.
