The Pyramid Of purple topped Turnips takes me instantly Into the memory of lifetime past In which a brutal winter's cold caused Such scarcity that purple-topped turnips were All the children had to eat for breakfast lunch dinner.
Father cursed, Mother wept, Sister died, but the turnip winter showed no sympathy; nature does not care about men, war, or famine.

What a powerful write! So true and so well delivered. Those last words touched my soul and made me tear up. Your way with writing really is soulful, and deeply moving! “ winter showed no sympathy; nature does not care about men, war, or famine.“ soul hitting! Loved this
