I scattered all my first seeds on different soil
I spread the weight across the middle and the low
I poured my time and patience into every last stall
So if one season shifts, the rest remain to grow tall
The lowlands keep the water in the wet years
The higher plots enjoy the cool morning airs
The middle field is always safe from frost and flood
So each part gives its own reason to be good
And when the wind strips one, the rest stand firmly
The barns are not all sitting in one row
The quiet weight of every seed that I sow
Is a peace that is too sturdy to be low
I never tie my whole fortune to a single thread
I split all my energy across a garden spread
When one plot fails, other plots start to gain
And the overall design never breaks
I'll scatter and sow
I'll make my rows across the land
My calm is not in one single leaf
I take my peace from many little roots
So I rest at ease
The steady ground when storms begin to sweep
My wealth is spread wide like roots that bind
A harvest that will never be confined
I'm at ease
The storm came in across the east side
It knocked over the tallest pine in the yard
But the groves that were split across the hill
Stood up and gave us all the room to fill the gap
Because no single tree would carry the weight
The wider roots were sharing every kind of strain
And so the garden found a way to never be blown
The north fence cracked but the south still held up its own
The sheep stayed safe in every separate field
The storehouse kept its grain on several floors
And I could see that safety's a map, not a door
So every part could fail but the whole is not poor
I don't depend on any one single season's grace
I keep my weight on several boards so none will bend
So when one board gives way, the rest stay firm
And the house of my many years stays firm
I'll scatter and sow
I'll make my rows across the land
I spread my trust in many kinds of ground
Each piece is rooted in something found
So I remain calm
Though one small plot may fail in heavy rain
While other rows grow to take their place
So all my harvest never goes to waste
I'm settled
