Spirit of Longview

Spirit of Longview  by Elvera Huff - 2006

 

 

 

East Texas finest city, blazen with hearts of beauty, kindness is

spoken everywhere.  Duty and courage lead us, ever we strive

together, may we be guided by 'your'  trust.  We have the spirit,

we have the knowledge, we shall not falter, we'll forward strive!

There's beauty in this grand blessed city, it's Longview, Texas.

You're the place we love.

 

The heart is the family, busy happy families, rich with opportunities

galore.  Work is our common goal, loyal to the tasks we hold, still

there is pleasure and vision too.  The lakes and playgrounds, for

leisure living, there's Alley Fest and the balloon race too.  The Fine

Arts Concerts top the offerings, for life in Longview, we will share

with you.

 

Springtime brings daffodils, iris of many hues, redbuds are making

their show too.  Lovely the tulip trees, matchless the dogwood

scene, aren't the azaleas beautiful too!  In summer roses, and bright

day lilies, there are crepe myrtle, gardenias too, but most of all we

see the pine trees, East Texas landmark such a lovely view.

 

God bless you Longview, Texas, faith guided loyal people,

counting their blessings every day.  Helping their fellow friend,

needs of the common men, guiding with truth and loving ways.

Results from duty, bring work accomplished.  From hope and caring,

a bright beam shines.  Let's find a rainbow goal for living.  God bless

this city, Longview, U.S.A.
