Poem

My memories of this dear old town will

always be with me, until day I die.

Small town life will do that to you.

This little town rests in the great State

of Iowa, where I spent the first 34 years of my life.

My dear dog Shep and I shared a lot of beautiful

memories in this wonderful place.

My poems of my Grandma took place here.

Going to double feature movies,

were seen at the Strand and Iowa theaters.

Boy hood chums and I had our summers

there, with Shep tagging along on our bike

rides to the country side and beyound.

Spending a lot of time at the Rexall Drug

at the soda fountain reading my comic books by

the hour.

Sunday afternoons were special, as sister

and I would go up town to get a six pack of

bottle Pepsi and a romance magzine for her

and a comic or two for me.

Many family members are buried there at

Hazelwood Cemetery, someday I'm going back

either to live there or be buried in the old cemetery

with my family and friends to keep

me company, so many precious and tear filled

memories and so many happy days of joy,

so Grinnell am still loving you,

and will be back someday, so until then

farewell my friend.

Lived there from 1952-1956
