Home towns are special - wherever you go- <br />And there are special little places where everyone goes. <br />There's one that is special - and dear to this <br />-writer's heart - it's Scotties. <br />It's snuggled in the West Virginia hills- <br />-In a town called "Elkins", I love so dear. <br />It's a place where old friends and new- <br />-come daily or weekly- to share hearts, <br />dreams, and news. <br />And always it seems to be busting at the "seams" <br />With the ups and downs, and problems of everyday life. <br />It's like a scene the world around- <br />Of life in America's small home towns <br />For it captures - a world - and way of life <br />That would be scary to those of big town life <br />But - stop and see if you ever come through. <br />"Scotties" is full of special- <br />-people - with special dreams- <br />Just like you.<br /><br />Darlene Shreve Bennett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scotties/
