Legacy

Our old streets have old historic namesOf early people who never intended fame.

But their names will remembered be;They settled the land here for you & me.

Failed crops; victims of disease;Death of loved ones, couldn’t make them leave.

They wanted freedom; a place to live;Working the land, gave all they could give.
