New Deal

New Deal

A promise realized:

water to dry land 

power to homes 

reservoir to stop floods—

work for people

after hard times—

a grand scheme 

dreamed up by farmers, 

business owners, citizens; 

a grand public works 

built by the New Deal;

first spilled 

eighty-one years ago 

and still 

waters land 

powers homes 

stops floods: 

the promise realized.
