A poem about a place I loved working at before Hurricane Katrina.
Jackson Barracks

I worked there for many years;

until it was destroyed by a storm.

I felt the pain and cried the tears.

Life now has a different norm.

For yesteryear had a steady routine.

Friendships were dear and sweet.

Working in that historical scene.

Cherishing each person I got to meet.

Although the Barracks is now restored;

and the years have passed and gone.

I think fondly of that place I adored.

As I move into a brand new dawn.
