Eat These Words Like your own mother She wants only Healthy children in school Bright eyes and brains The small farmer Sweat rolls from her face Pointed stick planting hoe weeding Food only if it rains The well is all day Every day 25 meters down rubber bucket For drinking washing cooking every thing Family needs water you know Rural electrification Brings green rice fields and income Time and pumps and spigots and vegetables Schools too sprout and grow Educating her daughters Feeding every child’s mind This woman smiles Like your own mother ![]() Paul Guenette (Montgomery County, MD) is a recently retired economic development manager with expertise in international agribusiness. Mr. Guenette designed and managed development programs in a career spanning 45 years and 90 countries.
