Community Life

Hoard Township, Clark County, Wisconsin

 

I like to live in a little town,

where the trees meet across the street.

Where you wave your hand and say "Hello"

To every one you meet.

For life is interwoven with friends we learn to know.

And we hear their joys and sorrow

As we daily come and go.

So I like to live in a little town,

I care no more to roam

For every house in a little town,

Is more than a house, it is a home.
