Produce

Produce
is what grows
after care.

It’s the visible part—
the fruit, the harvest,
the result people admire
without always seeing the tending.

Watering when no one notices.
Waiting when nothing appears to change.
Trusting roots you cannot see.

Produce is effort made tangible.
Patience made edible.
Hope made practical.

But we produce more than food.

We produce words
from silence.
Strength
from strain.
Perspective
from pain.

Everything we cultivate
eventually shows.

And sometimes,
what you produce
is not abundance for others—
but nourishment
for yourself.
