In Charleston’s heart, where the rivers meet the sea,
There lies a city, known as “home,” to me.
Its streets are paved with stories, its buildings tell the tale,
Of a place where past and present intertwine, without fail.
 
The cobblestone alleys, worn smooth by time,
Bear witness to the footsteps of those gone by.
Beneath the canopy of ancient oaks, branches reaching wide,
Whispers of the past echo like a haunting lullaby.
 
A city alive with passion, a tapestry of dreams,
Charleston, forever timeless, in the Carolina streams.
From the melodies of the sea islands to the pulse of the drum,
Charleston’s soul sings, never succumbing to glum.
A city of contradictions, of beauty and strife,
Charleston, forever etched in my fabric of life.
