'Vegies' and 'More' by Toril -- another Challenge poem

Toril and Tully Collaboration "Beety Babies" 24 x 36

Roots;
and all
 
Some vegetables I eat 
 Husk shell, eat seed or greens 
 
Others, the other way
Eat their roots, trash the tops
 
Life is like that, I know
Values, pride is the guide

The seeds are important 
Offspring their legacy
 
Some worry where'd they come
Of their roots they are proud

Balanced diet I try
Like my roots, love the seeds
.

 - From the link above:  "Tori 'currently resides in LaFarge, Wisconsin, and manages a small farm, Second Cloud on the Left Farm, with her husband Drew and her parents. The farm specializes in growing all heirloom, endangered, and rare varieties of produce.'" 
 - Besides these 'tops and root veggies' I like Toril's "The Emperor's New Sweater" (18 x 18) and her "Old Friends" (20 x 20) the best.  See these and more at Margaret's link.

Note:  My 'roots' are European, Manx (Isle of Man), English, German.  My 'seeds' are:  five (5) kids (three sons, two daughters); six (6) grandchildren; and two (2) great-grandchildren with another (1) due in April.
