City Hall Poem & Talk

In this great hall we've pledged allegiance to our flag
Once prayed openly , and these in silent prayer
Searching in quiet thoughts of what we now have
From years past and challenged days
Surrounded by mirrored images of our past
On this day we begin a new page in the book of time
Celebrating the rebirth of this Majestic Lady
Standing in awe of the great rebuilding we find
United in a circle where citizen's have stood before
That the ravages of age could not tear away
From the Keystones above its windows and doors
We celebrate with the greatest of pride this day
Citizen's we not only celebrate the rebirth of a building
We also begin the work for new and challenges in view
It is the people who seek the rebirth of their beloved Gloucester
That begining today will put their trust in all its leaders
Elected to serve our city with all its pride renewed
