I want to be a farmer of words
I want to nurture words
I want to plant them in good soil
Cultivate them
Grow them until mature
Make them fruitful
Pick them and harvest them
Squeeze out the nutritious juices of their meaning.
I want to be a chef of words
A vintner and baker of words
Combine them
Mix and toss them together
Prepare them deliciously
Marry their flavors
Plate them beautifully
Pour them out gracefully
Lovingly
Present them to those who hunger and thirst for
A good word
Or two or three.
I want to begin a culture of
Word husbandry.

Thanks, Wally! You may want to read it again because I added to it. I was inspired to “improve” it, haha.
