Answering God's Call

I stood and watched them One by one by one Working ever so lovingly Until all the work was done There were parents and adults Kids of all ages too All this was for In memory of you-know-who They were washing headstones Using shaving cream, to clean There were so many of them And even more in between Others were raking leaves Some were cutting brush There were people everywhere But, no one was in a rush Some were planting flowers Together in several rows There were wheelbarrows Tractors and even track hoes They were laying bricks And also walking about But, the hardest thing was Brennan, we were without He wasn't there in person He listened to God's call His Eagle Scout project completed In spirit, he saw it all
