Leroy, Mi Poem by Michael Gillespie

The faded beauty of a temperate life
In one recollection, a million words
So amazing, full of peace and love,
And as I drive past the memories;
About as worn as these dirt roads,
I look out the window and think to myself,
This town isn’t much of anything!
Everything run-down and neglected
But then it hit me, as I reached my house,
That even the most unwanted of ugly things
Can still hold so much of life’s beauty
