MY OLD HOMETOWN

Nostalgia  draws me back
to my old home town
and to the tree-lined park, 
so full of memories.
The copper beech still stands
Where we carved our initials.
I wonder where she is today.

I liked your approach, finding something that is etched in your memory still there in your old hometown among I've sure all the changes. Congrats
