The Big Board

The Big Board

If you lose a cat or break your leg

Put it on the board.

Good people come out of nowhere

And their gifts are your reward.

Ice dams, massage or recipes

Are shared with equal weight

Like a party line from the 50’s

The response is universally great.

Neighbors helping neighbors

Friends meeting new friends on line

The feeling you get when you join this cub

Is both new and old…,sublime.

This is the way it’s supposed to be

And the way it used to be

When neighbors helped their neighbor

Sharing both joy and misery!

Let’s keep it going as the papers disappear

We can embrace this newer way

And share our news both good and bad

Like we did just yesterday.

Written about the Lincolnville Bulletin Board - after asking neighbors if they had a pair of crutches I could borrow or buy after breaking my kneecap.  The response was over 20 offers and then a free pair of crutches were DELIVERED to my house.  Amazing Grace in Maine
