| CLINTON A POEM FOR CLINTON By Cathy Weiss, Clinton Poet Laureate, 2021 - Summer breezes sweep through town As fishermen haul in their catch. Later, tourists will flood the marina searching For lobster rolls, instagram photos, and sun kissed noses. In the center of town a place for music, art, and church fairs where families and friends gather. The air is fresh yet crisp as we gather under autumn leaves falling gently down From the beautiful trees that abound and grace our historical homes The Stanton House and “Old Brick” Where history and memories flow Where three rivers peacefully flow With as much love as in our hearts Our sense of community thrives As we take care of one another Amid history, sea breezes, and sand Everyone tries to lend each other a hand Our town’s nonprofits extend a hand To all those who may need to feel their community’s arm around their shoulders With grace our community thrives Birds chirp happily one last time before they return in spring We wait for Ospreys to return in spring sometimes like those birds we leave taking our love for you with us Knowing we will return again and again To the place where memories were made Summer blue fish and Christmas in Clinton Even Santa comes back for Christmas in Clinton Arriving at our beautiful Town Hall Along the river with the gazebo lit behind Though time passes and seasons change The sun sets on another day in Clinton A place we proudly call home We catch the breezes at our sun kissed marina, or along rivers that peacefully flow. We return each season to gather again, and again |
