Making Oklahoma

Making Oklahoma Rather than a lot later wish it was sooner When we both would become a honeymooner And off to Oklahoma one day we did go Where living is easy and things seem so slow. Wide open spaces are here, there and around To outstanding Oklahoma we will be bound All of your imagination there it can catch And once it does even more may stretch. Plains are found flat and cattle close by Will live and love it here until day we die Gave our thanks to God for all of His grace And for making Oklahoma a perfect place. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

Buttttt. You have one negative thing hanging over your head, OKLAHOMA BOMBING. Someone has to remove that from Oklahoma history. It is the first thing you think of when Oklahoma is mentioned. Horrors. Jim Horn

I came to Oklahoma by accident the first time around. I'm here on purpose this time and love being back. You need to keep stuff like this on the down low, I insist that Oklahoma is one of the best kept secrets in our country. Thanks for the write, and happy trials Mr. Horn.

Jill and I originally were from Wichita, Kansas where I was stationed in the Air Force, we were married there, I graduated from Wichita State and Jill graduated from Wesley School of nursing back in the early 60's. Buttttt, you sure have a lot of tornadoes around there. How did you happen to find my poem anyway? Do a search for Oklahoma and see what you come up with. Jim Horn
