Leaves to rake, grass to cut, weeds to pull
New Orleans, Biloxi, Waveland
Books to read, plans to write, groups to lead
St. Bernard Parish, Slidell, Gulfport
House to clean, clothes to wash, dog to groom
Hattiesburg, Pascagoula, Metairie
Arrange stuff: food, possessions, family pictures
Chalmette, Kenner, Ocean Springs
Volunteer time, donate food, give money
Pass Christian, Long Beach, Bay St. Louis
Homeless, displaced, misplaced
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on,
Houston, Memphis, Baton Rouge
Shelter, food, clothes, care
Nashville, Selma, Tillman's Corner
Shelter, food, clothes, care
Not enough, not enough, not enough
Calling back, calling back, calling back
New Orleans, Biloxi, Waveland
St. Bernard Parish, Slidell, Gulfport
Hattiesburg, Pascagoula, Metairie
Chalmette, Kenner, Ocean Springs
Pass Christian, Long Beach, Bay St. Louis
Calling back, calling back, calling back
The lost, the abandoned, the bereft
New Orleans, Biloxi, Waveland

Simply put but I like the idea. Get back to living and the simple chores of life, press on, back to normalcy. God willing, it should be that easy!
