Thursday, March 18, 2010: Goose Rock & Meeting the Mayor of Manchester



Kentucky Thursday Leaves us missing Waxford Where’s Little Buddy? - Haiku written by Dan

Our group split up
To cover more ground
A wheelchair ramp
And painting we found

Waxford Bowling
And our friend Jaquita
Great conversation
Nothing could be sweeta’

They were really touched
To have us help out
By the end of the day
We didn’t have a doubt

Kentucky was amazing
Its people so friendly
We didn’t miss technology
Or the rich folks’ Bentleys

The good Mayor of Manchester
Spent time with us to tell
Love for the town she grew up in
And local issues as well

Then it was off to cooking burgers
And eating sweet potato fries
Chatting with our new family
And it wasn’t a surprise

When we drove out to the park
To say what we had learned
We were able to share so freely
Among the trust that we had earned
Now we’re on our way home
Wiping tears from our eyes
Remembering those we spoke with
And those who fed us silk pies
- Poem written by B.Keegs
