Read the poem Shalah wrote that compliments this piece, named “Hospitality.”

Hospitality depicts country living.

She’s hospitality poured out
Like water on the earth
Tradition taught and carried on
For all that it is worth

A helping hand, a quiet ear
A meal in time of need
An open door, a resting place
A thought on which to feed

Humility of soul
And love for fellow man
God-Given Gift more wonderful
Than Beauty, Wealth or Land
