Mercer Street
Princeton, WV
Trash cleared
Earth smoothed
Holes dug
Timbers places
Soil moved
Plants rooted
Gravel spread
As the rain fell
An artist, a laborer,
A musician, a mother,
the unemployed, a preacher,
and those with skills beyond us all
Together we toiled to bring light to the darkness
and I saw a song.
