COMPANION CORNER:


A HAYWOOD STREET REFLECTION BY: MICHAEL “MOOSE”

Haywood is chaos but the good kind
Haywood is right around the corner and easy to find
Haywood is a place for the weary, hurt and blind
Haywood is rest when you have walked a many heavy of miles
Haywood is hugs, handshakes and plenty of bright smiles
Haywood is the clothing closet when you have nothing to wear
Haywood is a church who will give you kindness and truly will care
Haywood is believing in you when you don’t believe in yourself
Haywood is condiments that are always on the top shelf
Haywood is love when you had a tough week
Haywood is servants that are always humble and very meek
Haywood is gardens that grow salad for us to eat
Haywood is trying to help you get back on your feet
Haywood is a communion where you take the bread and juice
Haywood is a refuge when you are trying to make a truce
Haywood is service to you two times a week
Haywood is finally reaching the top of your peek
Haywood is peace when you want to run and hide
Haywood is where patience, joy and truth abide
