I grew up in the country <br />And it’s the place I love <br />Fresh air to breathe <br />Close to God up above <br /> <br />I love to grow plants <br />Flowers and such <br />Wake up at dawn <br />To a soft morning hush <br /> <br />Hear the sound of birds <br />And bugs buzzin’ ‘round <br />There are times as well <br />When there’s not a sound <br /> <br />I hear the birds in the evening <br />Settle in for the night <br />Tiny chirps up in the leaves <br />What a precious delight <br /> <br />If you’ve only lived in the city <br />Why not give it a whirl <br />Take a bit of advice <br />From this country girl!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-country-girl/
