Jessica Thompson Poet Rhyme

Texas

I was born and raised in Texas, 

it is the place I call home 

I do not think I will ever leave 

This is where I roam. 

 

Our state flower is a blue bonnet, 

the "Mockingbird", is our bird 

We sing "Texas our Texas" 

the prettiest Athem heard. 

 

We do have our many faults, 

like any other state 

but we love this place called home 

and to it, we relate.
