poem.

the sun is oh so hot, yet we still don't stop.
we hammer we nail, we start putting the whole house up
keep going! dont stop! just wait until the suns drops.
they need this more than we do.
the build is going faster and faster asd the trip proceeds.
walls and windows are going up. elecrical work still needs to be done.
the little kids laugh and run around us, bringing little treats for our own pleasures.
the sun is getting higher an dhigher of the hills.
the wind is loosing speed.
the water is running out.
the day is over and we go tothe coumpound and go to bed.
the next day we awake up and do it over again.
the week is done.
our mission is completed.
everyone is crying,smiling, and rejoycing.
and our work he is done.

liv. this is so good! i really got sucked into it! i really felt like i was in mexico, which is what you as a writer want. when you talk about how everyone was crying and rejoycing, i got so sad! this is so good and i really think you have a thing for poetry.
