This Place, These People
Still water’s not all that runs so very deep.
Flood tide can fill your heart, will surely make you weep
for all who lost so much of what they thought they’d always keep.
Yet so many gave of what they had- giving still!- no thought of sleep.
A thousand loving stories of the small, the human kind,
the generous, the gracious, the ties that truly bind.
So many stepping forward to leave no one behind.
An island rising from the sea, community defined.
