L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

In the Emerald Hills

Let me live in the emerald hills
Where wild animals are free
To roam, and where butterflies
Skitter about in the placid air
Beside a meandering stream,
Let me live in peaceful splendor,
Where every day I may dream
Of all that is beautiful and fair
I will hear the mockingbird cries
From yonder mighty oak tree
Let me live in the emerald hills.
