Gratitude

They lived and toiled when The living was not easy Weather and soil yielded no Grace nor bountiful Harvest to nurture body Providence however reign A long hard day ends For the family of four Potatoes and tea Baked and boiled for all to share Grateful expressions of care "The Potatoe Eaters" by van Gogh
