In Mission – v3

In Mission, sharing, offering hope

to the people of that simple place

people of that land, that ground

roots deep in that rough scrabble

barely eeking out life on that land,

the sea, the open ocean before them

the blueberry fields,

the forest behind them

out on the edge of our land.

Going there in mission

hoping to serve them

make their lives just a bit easier

in that place called home
