BROWNSTONE MINUTE

Yesterday’s memory
Neighborhood detail
Place from past time
Two story Brownstone
Brooklyn, New York 
Once upon a time
Historical smell of reflection
Love and Joy back then
Never felt alone
The neighborhood has certainly grown
Changes that have been made
Trees now bring shade
What was a 2 Family Brownstone is now a 3 Family Brownstone
History in the making
What a difference a change makes
The Old Catholic Church still stands tall
The Barber Shop on the corner is still there, but different owners
I remember Mr. Weeks being my barber who is dead and gone
My Time Tunnel
Brownstone years funnel
Through the brownstone treasure chest
From yesterday to today
My look back
My moment in time.
