Haverhill
city built upon a hill
I love you
in ways that
run like ribbons
through flesh and soul
I asked of you
for shelter
warmth
and friends for comfort
you gave
in abundance
out of God's own heart
the gifts that mark
your streets with greatness
Haverhill
my town
my joy
is in this community
that I call home
home a place of rest
may God bless you still
Haverhill
