Remembering St. Louis Poem by Marilyn Lott

I will always remember St. Louis
For it was the gateway to the west
It's an exciting and bustling city
As the folks from Spanish Cove will attest

Higher education opportunities
Started back many years ago
Improvements all through the years
Created a city that would smoothly flow

The history of St. Louis, Missouri
Is dotted with many famous men
Major Robert E Lee, for example
Was part of this expansion trend

Adorned with flowers and statues
Restaurants that make you smile
We enjoyed our interesting visit
And relaxed there for awhile

Watching steamboats on the river
Is a pleasure we all found exciting
Perhaps you too can someday visit
A city that is truly inviting!
