Morning dew on cherry trees Fruits that carry tears The soul and heart retrieves So many stories, many deeds About the man who grafted breeds Instead of sowing seeds And he lives on, in the land's memories
I found myself, at home away from home This soil, both far and known The Sun intones as life and death goes on The ground I thread around
Strong arms nurtured heart and kin Care in every seed Taught them how to grow within Gentle hands that shaped the earth Alive and gave it worth With love, a lasting birth
I found myself, at home away from home This soil, both far and known The Sun intones as life and death goes on The ground I thread around
