My hometown came to be... View table of contents...

My hometown came to be

when they founded Indiana University.

Over the years it has changed a lot,

from horse and buggy to parking lots.

In my lifetime there's been more than a few.

The old hang out spot where I met you

are now brick apartments with a city view.

As time changes life goes on,

long after we are dead and gone.

In the sands of time may we heartprints leave.

Future generations our stories weave,

of love, honor, dreams, and deeds.

Forever sowing, planting seeds

that "We the people" can succeed.

A lovely poem about change and hope ..It's what we might succeed in as human beings that scares me Though .
I love diversity and change but does it have to come at such a high price . freedom seems to cost more each year .. and even when it was free most of us could'n't afford it !

Thank you for your comments. I know what you mean.

An enjoyable piece; it's funny how people have difficulty in accepting change, which is certain to come; nicely done.

Thank you again!

JL Musgrave,

Well captured idea of memories that are so vivid in all of our minds, keeping the Spirit of childhood alive in all who remember their safe places while growing up.
