Woman,
Keeper of the garden
I am only the field hand
Who bringth a seed to sow
But woman,
Keeper of the garden
You must maintain the fruits
Of your garden’s growth.
You must employ hope,
don’t just speak it
But let it soak
Deep down into your soil
to help your fruits grow!
Woman,
Keeper of the garden,
You must protect your garden close
For your garden will replenish 
The fruits that came before.
Woman,
Keeper of the garden,
You must water your garden with
Love
Knowledge
Respect
to develop your garden more.
Woman,
Keeper of the garden,
Your garden must endure
Where all life is earthed
Roots are firmly planted
Until your fruits are harvest ready
Your garden is the source.
