Alton - a Pretty Little Place

A Special Heritage Of bravery, Strength, and charity Abides in hearts and homes. Legacy of ancestors Who sweat and bled to birth the town. And now, the future generation Is raised to do the same in all the earth. The mountain stronghold whispers through seasons Where summer months are warm and busy. Autumn full of leaves, food, and school. Winter boasts cold, snowy nights, The days fun, snow-filled sports. Spring comes with new birth. Baby creatures, Raised spirits, Grasses Green. My Hometown. Peaceful place Where family Extends the whole town. A pretty little place Where friends of old, and friends new Join in raising kids and moral Fiber for the world now and future. Camaraderie of great quality. Tucked within the folds of beautiful hills, With coral ledges raised above them, A place protected from the world. Becomes holiday retreat For those who’ve moved away, But come back each year, Like drifting birds Who like the warmth Of places Further South.
