THE OLD COURT HOUSE
 
As the sun arose each morning,
There, with reverence, she stood.
Among the many town buildings,
Made of clay, brick and wood.
 
She wasn't such a beauty,
But she meant a lot to me.
Remembering my first visit,
I was high as grandpa's knee.
 
We'd sit upon our special bench,
That faced the busy street.
And it was just amazing,
The people we would greet.
 
On Saturday, we'd see the world,
Pass by the courthouse yards.
Weekdays, came the most elite,
Of lawyers, judges and bards.
 
I'd sometimes count the many bricks,
Maybe thousands, on one side.
And the 'always' shiny windows,
Shone with dignity and pride.
 
To a child, the courthouse tall,
Was a castle in disguise.
I never dreamt I'd live to see,
My castle, meet its demise.
 
 As I am now much older,
As old as grandpa, I guess.
When he would take me with him,
And in the courtyard, we would rest.
 
The countless stories she could tell,
Of standing these 80 some years.
Seeing governors and criminals,
As they laughed or shed some tears.
 
That lovely old tall building,
That meant so much to me.
Why she had to leave us,
No reasons, my mind can see.
 
I will miss that old courthouse,
Though, beautiful, she was not.
And now, a new replacement,
Will stand upon her spot.
 
So many lives she has touched,
How many, no man can tell,
Of the joys and sadness that she saw,
And though plain, she served us well.
