Freeman's Mill

The old mill long had closed its doors
The rotting wheel would turn no more
No grain to grind , no country stores
where old men sat, told stories swore 

And rocks that formed the waterfall
Became the playground for us all
 On summer days,it beckoned ,called 
Beneath the old mill,s rotting walls...

The chill of water , mountain -fed 
Awakened spirits,long since dead 
Where,millers,children once were fed 
On banks upon which lovers wed.

And yet i hear the echoes still
Where laughter of the children filled 
Those rotting walls upon the hill
Twas once the home to freeman,s mill ...
