THE HELP WE GET

THE HELP WE GET 
(An on-the-spot oral poem 
spoken on April 8, 2021, at 7:16 a.m., 
walking with Delycia) 


We can hear the happy highway,
and we have the help 
of the bright birdsongs, 
and the sun is showing us 
how to shine,
and the proud pavement
beneath our feet 
shows us how to be strong
as our steady lives 
keep walking, 
keep walking, 
keep walking.
