Despite my sadness over the current disaster, I believe Durango can and will survive and flourish.
I just wanted to share this poem with all the others who love our special town:
Durango Melody
Wrapped around a flowing river
Nestled deep below the peaks,
Full of laughter, music, movement
Many find here what they seek.
History surrounds its center
Homes of every age and size,
Generations share its beauty
Feel its impact on our lives.
Through it runs a thread of caring
Times of sadness and of fun,
Reaching out and helping others
Sharing good times in the sun.
Toxic spills and other dangers
Can’t defeat its spirit’s core,
For Durango is enduring
Changing but remaining pure.
