A memory of years long past
A haunt some called a sacred place
‘Twas here a daughter learned to race
She’d start off slow and finish fast
Those afterburners on full blast
Around those mounds, a place to base
a memory
My grandchild, from the same mold cast
Now on this course, her best time graced
One cheered, one ran, both beaming faced
And in so doing, they’ve amassed
a memory
