The
Indians named you Flowery Branch, most appropriately.
Nestled on a hillside sitting high above the brook.
Sleepy little village where the
Train-tracks used to stop for just a moment,
Hardly long enough to look.
Almost missed when driving by
If sunlight makes one blink an eye.
Causing you to miss the charm
Which there within her borders lie.
The style of Simpson's grocery
OrCarlisle 's barber shop
Where Saturdays were made for swapping tales
And drinking soda pop.
The small town manufacturing...
The bait and tackle store...
Wood framed homes so old
Nobody lives there anymore.
A little slice out of the past,
This small town by the creek.
Treasured gemstone from our youth...
An American antique.
