옥수수

아침부터 옥수수와 씨름을 한다
6시에 일어나 어머니 기저귀 갈고
자루 들고 밭으로 간다
잘 익은 옥수수를 한 자루 따서
집에 들어서면 큰 솥에
가득 담아 찌기 시작한다

김이 모락모락 올라오고
옥수수 익어가는 냄새가 나면
누구를 같다 드릴까
누가 옥수수를 좋아하나를 머리로 굴리며
봉투에 담는다

많은 사람들이 맛있게 드신다
하나 둘 먹고 토생이 만 쌓이는 것을 보면
내 마음도 뿌듯하다

@dodoim, this post is simply heartwarming! The image perfectly complements the story of your early morning dedication, from caring for your mother to harvesting corn and sharing it with others. The simple act of thinking about who would enjoy the corn and then seeing their satisfaction is so beautifully captured.
