there are so many things
we don't know about
where we live
how did it get here,
how did it grow,
what did folks give
to help start it up
and to keep going
and ever since kept it growing?
the town today is nothing
more than an outgrowth of
what then was showing
seeing old buildings
and historical spots
can help instill
in us a sense of pride
and connection with those
who were here before
and seeing those names now
can tell us what was important
and mean even more
to what we do today
in our own town
and help to keep it
true to its roots,
flourishing, and filled
with community spirit
