felt

life in the church
god in the corner
prayers in the echo
saints here everywhere

came here believing
expecting miracles
because
they happen everyday

what a place here
coal country sorrow
mostly joy
so understand

helping your neighbor
sharing some laughter
stories about mountains
people and trees

a coal country future
a worthless diploma
secure a new reason
a need to achieve

strength is beauty
the worthless muscle
hope is ready
waits for the word

you are a picture
a life of fulfillment
seen as a nightmare
what will i do

when
there is no past
no future no tomorrow
always today there is

love eternal felt
