What I Like Best About Glen Cove
BY
Chinemere Ogbobe
5th Grade
Connolly Elementary
On the north shore of Long Island, east coast of the country
Stands the beautiful city of Glen Cove
Hard to pick my favorite place of interest
Each with its own history bold and visible
Everything seems interesting to me
I love everything about Glen Cove
From the shinning white sky with speckles of color
The spectacular blends of shades floating around
The stretched out lands with continuous hills and slopes
To the delicate snow that envelopes the lands
From the towering trees that whistle in the wind
To the pretty view gracing each street
I live everywhere in Glen Cove
Oh! How I love the breezy chilly winds
And the surrounding cafes and pizza houses
Delicious smells tingling my noses all day long
Don’t forget the schools and library
The churches and the fire department
Decorated with flowers, statues, and monuments
I love every passing moment in Glen Cove
The colonial houses looking magnificent
Merging with the modern houses, flowers, and statues
All day long, the laughter and happiness embrace the city
Like a mother would embrace a loved child
Though the words may not rhyme or align properly
I just know that when I flip open the map and locate Long Island
I’ll always see my beautiful Glen Cove towering above other cities
Magnificent Glen Cove!
