This Beautiful Town
By Luanne Crosby
Take a walk around this beautiful town
Each building has a history
Some known and some a mystery
Right in view, there are so many clues
Look up at details to explore
You might have never seen before
All of us who live here now are stewards of the past
It’s up to each of us to see (that the treasures all around us) last
Ideas abound, for this beautiful town
Let’s do the things that we can do
To guard the past, embrace the new
As they say, where there’s a will there’s a way
Before much more can be improved
Impediments must be removed
But occasionally we get to see architectural features that were lost
Restoring their previous glory, is worth the effort and the cost
Take a walk around this beautiful town
Imagine with a little skill
Some vision and some shared goodwill
What the future might hold for
This Beautiful Town
