 My Home Town

When I look around me
            what do I see?
I see the history.
            The buildings that have so many tales to tell.
I see the land.
            The land that so many people worked to survive.
I see the people.
            Those who watched this place grow and who will
            always love it deep down.
Together I see the little coal mining village called
            Westville, my home town.
-         Tracy O’Brien
