Tiny Town

                                                                             Tiny Town 

Tiny towns, barely specks on a map; still amazingly left alone. 

Like portals back in time, a little taste of history; a part of America stuck in the past. 

These tiny towns you find only when you take the back roads, if you look you might even see a pay phone. 

You won’t see their names on any highway sign, no headline tourist attractions; that’s how these pieces of history last. 

 

These tiny towns are often out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by huge farms. 

They make me smile at a memory from childhood and we always said, “the towns was so small, if you sneezed, you would have missed it”. 

Little “one horse towns: as my grandpa liked to refer to them; have their unique charms. 

That is one reason I love to take the back roads when I can; on the trips that permit me to take my time and enjoy every bit. 

 

You must love the tiny towns, left untouched by modernization. 

Leaving them their charm and feel of the good ole’ days. 

Some have cemeteries bigger than they are because they have been around for that long; no exaggeration. 

I would think living in a tiny town would have its own challenges in a lot of ways. 

 

Still there is just something about tiny towns that makes me smile, and I will forever love driving through them!
