My world was small when I was eight

and yet I did not know it—I thought it so large.

Siblings, parents and I started out

in a new Levittown just built;

We came from Trenton and before that Allentown;

before that I can’t recall but for what was told.

I grew up here but where is here?

We are 4 townships and unincorporated.

I lived here, worked here and retired here.

Like anywhere L-town evolves

and so do I.

I’m a Levittown girl.
