Take this Letter to my Mother

[Verse 1] Take this letter to my mother,Far across the deep blue sea,It will fill her hear with pleasure,She’ll be glad to hear from me.How she wept when last we parted,How her heart was filled with pain,When she said, “good-bye, God bless you,We may never meet again.” [Chorus] Take this letter to my mother,Far across the deep blue sea,It will fill her heart with pleasure,She’ll be glad to hear from me. [Verse 2] Take this letter to my mother,It will fill her heart with joy,Tell her that her prayers are answered,God protects her absent boy.Tell her to be glad and cheerful,Pray for me where’er I roam,And ere long I’ll turn my footstepsBack towards my dear old home, [Chorus] [Verse 3] Take this letter to my mother,It is filled with words of love.If on earth I’ll never meet her,Tell her that we’ll meet above.Where there is no hour of parting,All is peace, and love, and joy,God will bless my dear old mother,And protect her only boy. [Chorus

My Father\u27s Growing Old

[Verse 1]O! when I gaze upon his face,That once was young and fair,I almost weep to think that ageCould leave its image there,he stood the many storms of lifeThat round his pathway rolled,He\u27s resting in life\u27s sunshine nowMy Father\u27s growing old. [Chorus]I sit beside his easy chair,His and in mine I hold,He breathes his life yet sweetly there;My father\u27s growing old. [Verse 2]O! who can tell a father\u27s love,When age bringson decay,The form grows weak, the eyes are dim,The mind fades fast away,\u27Till after a while life\u27s sun goes downThe story then is told;Time whispers gently in my earMy father\u27s growing old. [Chorus] [Verse 3]His journey to the grave is short,His work is almost done,His tot\u27ring limbs grow weaker still,His race is nearly run;Old age deserts him on the road,He waits for death to come,he\u27s lost upon the Shores of Time,But Angels lead him home. [Chorus

I\u27ll Remember You, Love, In My Prayers

Neither group will receive an epidural or other radical means of analgesia. The pain levels experienced in each of the methods of labor will be measured through a written labor pain survey and through various physical tests.

Food Sovereignty: A Critical Case

For decades, the global food security strategy has operated on the assumption that poverty and hunger result from a state of underdevelopment, which can be alleviated through the distribution of technology to increase farm-level productivity. In more recent years, transnational corporate involvement within food security has led to a global imposition of intellectual property rights over seed and agriculture science, thus catalyzing a process of accumulation by dispossession. Those who have been dispossessed of their seed, knowledge, food cultures, and social relations of production, however, have not stood idly by. NGO, peasant and human rights organizations have galvanized around food sovereignty, a radical-rights based alternative to the business as usual approach of food security. Broadly defined, food sovereignty is the peoples’ right to define their own food and agriculture systems. It has also been described as ‘repossessing the commons’, or taking back those aspects of life, like seed, which have been commodified through corporate/neoliberal projects. One fall back to this approach is that it does not address the crucial difference between having a right and doing what is right. The thesis explores this topic by reviewing the meaning of rights for both food security and food sovereignty. Then, using Robert Sack’s theoretical framework, the thesis suggests that we may use intrinsic geographic judgments to know whether the rights we promote actually lead to intrinsic progress, or a heightened awareness of the real and the good. Lastly, an empirical case study in Guatemala is explored to reveal how the power of place affects the sort of progress food sovereignty can achieve
