Foundations

Building a foundation is no mean feat!
Takes muscle, brains and brawn
and more than one person.
Everyone best be focussed 
on the task at hand for a solid result.
This building, on Cook St., will house
and welcome families and businesses.
Watching a new building materialize from thin air, draws me to watch.
I am so very impressed.
Seeing workers of both genders in ankle deep concrete as it is piped in, to rake and level the gray mush flat is fascinating.
Makes me think of all of our ancestors, whether friends, mentors or families,
and the foundations they have built for us.

“It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; 
it’s the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.”
~ David Allan Coe
