In Marietta, where my story began,
A town with a history, a place to understand.
Nestled in Georgia, under the Southern sun,
A birthplace where my journey had begun.
The streets lined with trees, a canopy so grand,
Shaded avenues, where childhood memories stand.
In Marietta's heart, the square's inviting grace,
A bustling town center, a familiar, warm embrace.
The Chattahoochee River nearby, it flows,
Its gentle waters, where serenity grows.
Kennesaw Mountain, a majestic sentinel high,
Watches over Marietta, touching the sky.
The people of Marietta, a diverse, caring blend,
Neighbors and friends, on whom I can depend.
From the farmers' markets to the festivals we share,
In Marietta, there's a sense of community in the air.
From the Marietta Diner to Glover Park's serene grace,
Every corner of this town holds a special place.
In Marietta, GA, where my story unfurled,
I'm forever connected to this hometown world.
So, here's to Marietta, where I first drew breath,
A place I'll cherish until my very last breath.
In this birthplace, the roots of my soul are sown,
In Marietta, my hometown, I've truly grown.
