California, I Love You

Crowning my state is a jewel in the bay A prized Golden Gate, is my bridge to the sky Life on the edge of a vast ocean wave I'll love California, until the day that I die For, this has been home since the day I was born On her glorious coastline, my soul is restored Redwoods so tall, where the eagles can soar Not to mention Sequoia's and Yosemite's lore I have it all, just a step out my door A land rich with gold, Mickey Mouse, and the shore! I love you California, land of plenty, land of many Land of vast cities, tall mountains, small valleys Over the years, I have seen other lands Varied they are, but I do understand Even though wonders are seen everywhere, You have them all and cannot be compared Only your sun makes me feel wild and free Until your next earthquake, shakes things up, even me !! ____________________________________________ 4/7/14 For Contest Sponsored by Kim Merryman
