MAIN STREET AND OTHER POEMS


MAIN STREET (continued)

But there is yet an echo left deep down within my heart
Of the music the Main Street cobblestones made beneath a butcher's cart.


God be thanked for the Milky Way that runs across the sky,
That's the path that my feet would tread whenever I have to die.
Some folks call it a Silver Sword, and some a Pearly Crown,
But the only thing I think it is, is Main Street, Heaventown.
