Amongst Them


If you could grow anything
in rewarding effort
local jobs and local shops
would carry product and service.
Communities are unions, too
with neighbors and friends
as proud members
that brighten days.

Rewarding effort,
practice, and play
teaches skills
which can get motors running
to produce work
or a little fun

Local jobs, and shops
are supplied
by such interests
producing work
or a little fun.
We can think
of ourselves as a market, too,
for things we find rewarding.
We can buy and sell.
Or industrial
as we can make and move, too.

Carrying product or service
is quality,
a product of good workmanship,
experienced hand,
and doing your best.

Community Unions
share
common time,
common moneys,
common problems.
Often, ones boon
is anothers gift.

Neighbors and friends
make ones community
and share weather
They share hopes and dreams.
They share tragedy and fears.

Proud citizens
of communities
grow self-respect
and accomplishment
to better lives.

Brightened Days
bring joy to all the world.

Amidst
practice and play
of interests
comes quality
as ones boon
sharing accomplishment
hopefully bringing joy
