Oak Farm

Peace.

The very word
is at the centre of the farm.

Close to calming water
and tagged on a metal tree,
created to celebrate the people
caring for, and cared for,
by this forgiving land.
The very word is theirs.

They are a special people.
inhabiting a different world -
at times a terrifying place.
Although apart,
but working with one aim,
worlds can converge, come closer, comfort;
communicate in wonderful
and unfamiliar ways.

They are not strange,
these carers.
Nor are they strangers.
They are singular
and slowly, surely, self-esteeming
as they tend the land
and lend their
special skills to loving
living things.

Here they have a place,
position, purpose, pride:
a pathway to
a rare and treasured
peace.

Here at Oak Farm
you have their word.
