In Mission – v2



In Mission to the people 
of that simple place
people of that land,
roots deep in that rough scrabble
eeking out life on that land,
the sea, the open ocean before
the blueberry fields,
the forest behind
out on the edge of our land.
Going there in mission
hoping to serve them
make their lives just a bit easier
