Tribute To My Hometown

Went shopping today
 In Montrose, PA
 Saw lots of folks
   I must say

  Knew most of them
 I met along the way
I must once again say
That I like it that way

Five thousand people is 
  The total population 
   Many seen might
   Just be relation

      Familiar faces met
  Flash smiles as we meet
Hearty hellos how are ya's
  As each other we greet

People from my past
 People of my today
  Small little town
  I like it that way

A lovely piece Mary, telling well the goodness of your small town of Montrose, I'm in Scotland and there's a Montrose on the North East coast. Have a great day, Gordon

I enjoyed this visit to your hometown Janet. I loved your rhythmic verse which could easily play into lyrics in a song. Congratulations on being featured. Cheers, Connie

This was nice, I also live in a small town and love it there. Nicely crafted and expressed, what a welcoming scene you have painted with your words.
