I am the house with the sturdy roof;
I am the question and the proof.
I am the hand upon the plow;
I am the Once, the Then, the Now.
I am the Goodwife at the door,
who toils daylong then long hours more.
I am the Husband in the field,
whose sweat enriches the harvest yield.
I am the sun, I am the rain,
I am the breeze in the ripening grain.
I am the stern, I am the mild;
I am the Father and the Child.
I am the rock, I am the tree;
the sacrifice and the mystery.
I am the question and the proof.
Come share my house with its sturdy roof.
